A bump in the road (Well maybe a roadblock)?

I got some devastating news this week and it affects everything taking place right now. I lost my job. This came to me as a shock. I am trying very hard to be strong and know that this is in God's hands. I know in my head that there's a bigger plan for Tom and I then we are aware of right now, but in my heart I know both of us are disappointed. As an ironic twist of fate the same day I received notice we received our papers in the mail to become an active adoptive couple for birthparents to begin looking at us.

This is not going to happen at this time. This is definitely a temporary roadblock, but very difficult in any case. Tom talked to a case worker at the agency and she advised us to sign the papers anyway, but not to send the final amount of money until we know we can become active. All it will take for us will be to send the final payment and then we'll be active. We are working though this and are in need of prayers and positive thoughts now more than ever.

Please continue your thoughts and prayers for us as we journey down this road, which is now more difficult than ever imagined.

I am certain that this is part of God's plan for the two of you to become parents. I believe that you would've been chosen quickly as possible adoptive parents and maybe "your baby" hasn't even been conceived yet. I know this roadblock is difficult for everyone concerned, but we have to have faith in God's plan. This will happen in God's time.
Love,

This stinks!!! I don't know what they are doing here!!

My thoughts and prayers are for you to receive notice that they are offering you another position here, or that you get a bigger and better position somewhere. I will miss our chats, but God knows what he is doing.

Vickie...I am so upset the way things are turning out. You have definitely been dealt a double-whammy. Just remember I am only a phone call away. I want you to know that I have felt very lucky to have you as a colleague and especially a friend. Love and prayers to you both....Sandy
