Great Loss

This week Scott and I had to make the biggest decision thus far and chose to terminate our contract with ANA and therefore end our adoption process of Jean Delson. This was definitely not an easy decision to make and there is not one particular person that is to blame. We got involved with a very unstable country(Haiti) and no one could/can predict what will come of the process. After a lot of praying and asking God what His will was, we finally were able to come to peace with our decision. We are still exploring options of what our future holds for us and our desire for a family. We appreciate all of the prayers and support we have received and will keep everyone informed of our future journeys. Please keep Haiti, the children, the waiting families and especially Jean Delson in your prayers. I will update this blog when we make a decision about how to proceed from here. God Bless ~Melissa

i'm so sorry that you all have been put into this position - i do have a question for you - some agency's file their paperwork one way & other agency's file their paperwork differently - do you know if ANA files their paperwork in such a way that another family can adopt this little boy at a later time or have they filed it in such a way that no one can ever adopt him & he'll forever be stuck in haiti?? - i'm not asking for me or anyone else, just would be such a shame for you all to have waited for what's it been... 2 years, then to have to make this decision to stop the adoption, only for him to now be stuck there - praying for you all
