I just wanted to give everyone an update....especially if you have been through failed adoption(s) or contested adoptions...
We had a failed adoption December 2006, failed adoption July 2007, failed adoption November 2007, a fourth failed adoption of a baby placed in our home for five days in December and birthmom changed her mind and we had to return him and LITERALLY on the drive home from reuniting him with his birthmom, we got a call about another situation. We were still grieving the loss of baby J, and we were in shock. It was the hardest things we've ever done....But we then had a decision to make.
Did we believe that there was a plan all along......at times, I really didn't know what I believed. But once we got that call on the way home about a baby girl born on the EXACT same day the little boy we just returned, I just knew. We scrambled to get everything together and rushed to another state.
She was exactly 2 weeks old when we got her. She was in NICU for a week and cradle care ...awaiting her forever family for a week.
She is absolutely perfect.
It does not make me forget ALL the pain of the failed adoptions...nor would I want to....I have learned so much through all of this.
It seemed at times that I couldn't go on. That I wanted to give up. But then I would have missed the baby that God had planned for us all along.
If you want to PM or email me.....I would love to talk with anyone.
Take Care and Blessings

WOW!! Your post made me well up with tears of memories of failures along our way, a contested adoption and, finally, the family we were meant to have. Your story is exactly the reason I tell others who are ready to give up on the adoption process, that if they give up now, the ultimate not only WON'T happen, but CANNOT happen. My best to you. I know the joy you must feel holding your perfect baby girl every single day. Thanks for sharing your very hopeful story with others. I'm quite certain that someone will read this and it will give them the strength they need to continue. I wish you much happiness!
Talk about an emotional roller coaster! I'm so happy things have finally worked out for you. We experienced a failed adoption in November; every morning I wake up and every night I go to bed, I try to remind myself there is a baby out there for us. Your story is truly inspirational for those of us who have experienced failed adoptions.

Kat..thank you for sharing your story. You are so right. If we hadn't had to go through all the heartaches....we wouldn't be feeling such JOY right now with our precious daughter.
What a blessing.
When you are in the midst of the trial, it is hard to look to even the next hour. But when you are on the other side.....it becomes clearer. I still am a little "fearful" on the inside....like "is someone going to come and get her"....but I know as time passes, that will hopefully go away.
God Bless!
