"I'm so sorry"

I found myself saying this to a dear friend of mine last night, Demarie. Demarie and David started an adoption from Guatemala over the summer and they were told last night that Joshua would never be coming home. It turns out that there were too many unknown and unexplainable things in his paperwork, such as birth mom birth certificate etc. Although I found myself saying it many times last night, the words "I'm sorry" really don't cut it. I thought about this last night as I laid in bed. During our current process and 3 of our preganices , we were told "i;m sorry" in many different ways, all coming back to the loss of our child. Many may not understand the loss that is felt when something like this happens. I know that I heard comments, 'well at least you hadn't held him yet." , or atleast it happened now and not later." The fact remains that the pain is real no matter what the circumstances leading up to the loss are. God brought this child in to their lives for a reason and my heart aches for the pain that they are going through right now!! Please bow down with me and pray for them. Ask God to heal their pain and to give them peace as to how Joshua will be taken care of. Ask God to show them the direction that He wants them to go now. God does not put the desire of adoption in to the heart of HIs children for no reason!!!

And He shall wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there shall no longer be any death; there shall no longer be any mourning or crying or pain. Rev. 21:4
