Whenever I talk about our failed adoption, I know people can't understand what we went through. I know I've said it was just like a miscarriage, but this post sums it up almost perfectly. You know I don't have a way with words, so I am really glad someone else could articulate it better than I could. The only thing I would emphasize is that I still love the parents and I completely respect their choice and I would have made the same choice if I was in their shoes. It's still hard not knowing what he looks like and I wonder what they named him.
The loss of Sweet Potato was 20 times harder than the loss of our potential son. Sweet Potato was in my arms for a full year. The whole time thinking he would be our forever son. That is just soul crushing, but I am so so so grateful to be on the path we are now and to have the most beautiful son and birthparents forever in our lives. God had a plan and he knew that Bear was perfect for us.
If you are currently on this journey and don't believe in God, then trust fate.
