I got a phone call today. Yet again, a potential foster placement fell through.
Chris and I were really trying not to get excited this time, but it's so hard. We want to prepare ourselves for every new situation that presents itself. Then, when it falls through, its like having the wind knocked right out of you. It feels like we've waited for so long. It seemed like this one was finally going to happen and then...nothing. Our (mental/emotional) nest is empty once again.
I know God has a plan for us and the right children will come along. It's just devastating to learn each of these children's stories, get mentally prepared to take them into our home/lives/hearts, and have it all end with one phone call.
I guess we will just keep waiting.
