Bad news, REALLY bad news.
Yesterday morning we got the worst phone call ever from our agency. They informed us that we need to cancel our trip. That's right three days before we're to depart and we're to magically cancel everything. We are told that our agency lost this referral. Why?? That's the million dollar question. Apparently the orphanage can't give a definite answer to that question so were left to speculate that someone else got there first or that the birth family returned and wanted her back. What ever the case we pray that she has found a good loving home.
Surly everyone will what to know what we will do from here. The only thing we can do, WAIT. We know that there will someday be a child in our lives. We may not ever know why but we know that this is the way it was meant to be and we will move forward. We know that there are some great things to come in our future and can't wait to experience them.
With work and all the final preparations, the last few days have been a little busy for us. Every night we've been wanting to post about the wonderful baby shower that we had on Sunday but was just to wiped out. Wanda, (Melissa's mom) with the help of some very dear friends and family put together the best surprise baby shower you could imagine. There was lots of friends and family there to share this joyous occasion with us. We had great food, cup cakes, mini cheese cakes and opened lots of wonderful presents. We can't say thank you enough.

Bill and Melissa -
I am at a loss for words. I check your blog every day and I can't tell you how sorry we are about this news. Your outlook is amazing! It's easy to say hang in there, but it is certainly easier said than done. Please feel free to call and talk if you want to. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Shana and Larry
We are praying for you guys! We cannot imagine how you must feel. We will look at the bright side... there is a reason for this, your child is out there and you are close, and yes, maybe now we will travel together! We are thinking of you! Dan and Colleen
Bill and Melissa,
I was just logging in to wish you the best in your final days of preparation for your trip and was shocked at your news. This must be so difficult for you. It is such a disappointment. You will definitely meet your child. Keep the faith. We are here to support you in any way. Tricia and Chris
I am SO sorry to hear this news!!!
I know how it feels to be so excited and ready, then plans change. All I can offer is that I truly do believe (from the bottom of my heart and soul) that things DO happen for a reason-even though we don't undertand why, and we may ever not know why.
I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers are you wait for your perfect angel. You have a great attitude. This process is NOT easy, but when you do travel, and you do meet your child, it will become clear why you had to wait.
My heart hurts for you for what you must have felt like when you got that call...but I KNOW that your child is still waiting and you WILL get to Kostanai.
Dear Bill And Milissa,
I am so sorry that this did not work out for ya'll. I know in my heart it will happen soon. I can only imagine the disappointment you both are feeling. I'm sure it's as if you lost a loved one and we do know how that feels like. I think of both of you every day and pray that ya'll will meet your child soon. Love Mom
Missy and Bill,
We are so very sorry to hear your news. This must be so disappointing for you!! But your attitude is terrific. We are sure you are right. Things happen for a reason even if we do not know why at the time.
Please know we are thinking of you in this difficult time.
Love,
Steph and Chad
Dear Misie and Bill,
I just wanted to let you know that we are all thinking of you and praying for you. My mom is giving everyone in her prayer group a favor from your baby shower and asking them to pray for you both, that you will keep your faith and will be able to travel quickly.
We love you both and know their will be one more to love soon!
How are you two doing? I keep checking back and am thinking of you. This must be so tough. You are in our prayers.
Hi Kids,
Saw your picture. Can't wait to see you with your little Angel.
Love to you one and all.
Mom
