We felt closure within our grasp...and then it slipped quietly away.
We were presented to the entire team of case workers at our agency on Thursday (12/15) for approval to be certified and have our match letter placed in the books and on the website (which marks the true waiting season, as once this happens, placement could theoretically happen ANY TIME, but the average is anywhere from 3 months to a year).
We called our case worker just before 5, because she hadn't contacted us with the results. We expected a positive report, and news that we'd be in the books the very next day because after our final meeting, she had let us know that she had no concerns.
Instead, we were told that we are not approved right now. That the team has concerns about my family history and working with birth families and the unpredictability of the possible situations we may work with, and we're not 100% sure what our next steps are. We feel pretty devastated - this isn't what we were expecting...at all. Actually, that's an understatement. We are thankful to have Godly people in our lives who are continuing to remind us that God's plan reigns supreme... But right now...our hearts are broken and hurting, and we're just plain confused.

I am so so sorry to hear that Jenny. I can imagine how confused you must feel. I am praying that the Lord will make clear to you what He wants your next step to be. He DOES have a plan even when WE don't understand.
