Another "No"

The Christian girl in FL chose a family - and it wasn't us. I'm glad to know that the family this baby will be welcomed into is a loving Christian home.

BUT -It just really makes you feel like you aren't good enough. Remember in school waiting to be picked to be on a team: "pick me, pick me". And then the feeling when you weren't picked. But at least with that the end was in sight. You could see it winding down to only a few more people.

Why us? Why did God choose us to carry this burden? I'm ready to give it to someone else - I don't want to carry it anymore. It has been 7 years since we decided to "start trying". I'm ready to "stop trying"!!!!

(just a side note - our keyboard is VERY dirty)
