I am very sorry to have to report that our plans to adopt a little boy from Guatemala have fallen through.
We are both pretty shaken up and will need some time to think about next steps, but I felt the need to post this here because so many people have been so supportive in their comments.
In the adoption world this is called a "lost referral".
Obviously, I have never experienced actually losing a child, but this is the closest I've come to that so far in my life.
Of course, we hope and pray that this boy will grow up a happy child where he is.
That's all for now.
