To Love a Rose: An Ethiopian Adoption Journal

Closing the Door...

Still no word on my labs from Dr. S's office yet, but Mr. C and I did receive sad news today...

Our file at Gladney is being officially closed today. 

I know that we can no longer go down the Ethiopia path or adopt at this very moment, but I am still extremely heart-broken over the loss of this adoption.  I was so convinced that God was leading me down this road, and that we were finally going to get to be parents.  I was so excited!  It honestly feels as though I've lost a child...I have been dreaming of this brown-skinned baby for over a year. 

I have a room painted yellow for a boy or girl...I have a stroller and three boxes of diapers...I have some decorations...I had all of these dreams about what we would do, what I would read to Baby C and how I would play with him/her.  It's all gone now.

I realize that we could get pregnant soon, but maybe we won't.  Maybe not ever, like we've always suspected, and these past years have taught us.  I really couldn't care less how I become a mother; I will love my child whether born from my womb or from my heart...I would just like to somehow be able to move forward in some direction.

There is really nothing to be said today...only that I am feeling pretty sad.  I've been trying really hard to keep my spirits up, because I know that God has a plan; but sometimes I think it's okay to just be human and wallow in the tough feelings of loss and rejection...

After all, even Jesus was a Man of Sorrows.

  1. An amazing testimony on how i conceive and also get cure from my fibroid permanently with his natural herbs , i wonder why people still don't believe that roots and herbs are very essential and fruitful in different aspect, especially when you can't conceive and bear children. I am a living witness because I tried all I could to be pregnant but all to no avail, on this faithful day, i decided to check the net for updates on healthy living and i came across testimonies of lot of women who Dr Onokun has helped with his native herbs to conceive. i decided to put a try because this has been my greatest problem in life so I emailed Dr Onokun, and he told me what to do which i did, after which he sent me some roots and herbs syrup and gave me step by step guild lines on how and when to have sex with my man. I missed my menstrual flow within a short period of taking it, and the doctor confirmed that I am pregnant. I am very glad to tell the world that I just put to bed a bouncing baby boy last week. Contact Dr Onokun for your own testimony on: Dronokunherbalcure@gmail.com Or WhatsApp: +2349064844957
