WoW, I totally understand where you are coming from. Not only do we have not friends but a family member or 2 that have given us less support then expected but we also lost a referal to death. We have had so many struggles with this adoption as you have an we have been in the "is this God telling us it is not meant to be" frame of mind as well. The way I figure it is that it is not GOD telling us to give up but SATAN hoping we will.

You have got to keep your faith in the adoption and also in your relationship with God. For us, after so long of fighting with the system and still hanging on to the dream of our little boy (who will be home in a month), we got the respect of our critics and told Satan where to go. We wish you all the luck and will pray for your strength.

God Speed,
