Nope, not this time either....

We got word that we are not in this group of referrals.

I am broken...spent...done.

When does one say enough?

Still no words... but a hug which I know doesn't do anything at this time. I'm heart broken for you guys.

I am not sure what to say Sweetie. I look forward to the day when we can have our very own little family. I hope that all of the pain and sadness will soon be replaced with love and excitement. I believe that we are very close, and the future will bring us so much happiness. I am here with you.

Love Yvan.

Carolyn said...

As I already said- there are no words that can help at this point. I just want you to know that I am thinking of you and Yvan and that my heart goes out to you both. I am so sorry Rana- you deserve every happiness in the world- you will get it, but just not near as soon as you deserve.

Okay, so thankfully the kids are in bed because I just dropped a big 'ol F-bomb when I saw the title of this post. I am just in utter shock!! HOW can it not be your turn?!

I am SO frustrated for you guys!! ((Hugs)) although at this point, I'm sure that's not helping!

Thinking of you and hoping there's a referral coming for you VERY soon!!!

andrea said...

How is that even possible!! I was so sure you would have happy news this week. I can only imagine how you are feeling... know that there are friends and strangers all over the country who are wishing happiness for you and Yvan. A

june said...

Maybe it was better back when we didn't know when referrals were coming... at least there wasn't this constant anticipation and letdown. And who knows, maybe there were no babies in this group, just older kids. I can't imagine how you are feeling, I'm so sorry. :(

;) said...

I am so sorry. This was not the news I was expecting to hear as I am sure you weren't as well. My heart aches for you.

Take care of yourself this weekend.

hazel said...

The thing is, you can't say "enough." You just take a break away, collect yourself, allow the fresh wound to scab over your heart one more time, and wait for the next month's referrals.

Sadly, the many times broken heart does not heal fully month after month. There is only one medicine that will heal it properly, and we all know what that medicine is.

Hugs my friend. Enjoy the weekend with your mom.

Kristin Hickman said...

Rana, I am so sorry for you and Yvan. I can't believe it, from all the rumors swirling I thought all of you gals would be in this batch! I don't understand that you have been waiting 18 months and why that can't explain better to us the reason it is taking so long. I'm sure this weekend with your mom will be invaluable.
Thinking of you
Kristin

Rana

I follow all you long time waiters with anticipation and just can't believe what I read. Know we are all thinking of you and praying for you. Stay strong however you can and when you can't stand this journey, sit... and then crawl and just keep moving forward day by day... hour by hour... minute by minute...Don't give up! You have come so far!!

Hugs
Crystal

You know you are so getting a call very, very soon, right?? After reading Hazel's blog today, I immediately checked yours, as I see you are only 4 days behind.

So so sorry to hear this news. We too waited over 18 months for a referral and it's brutal. It really will happen one day and the next thing you know you'll be off to Ethiopia. We're praying for you

Dear Rana,
So, so sorry that wonderful folks like you and Yvan are asked to endure so much.
Just a little more strength and a litte more patience and soon your life will be forever changed.
All the best - hang in there.
