The surprises keep coming!

Today I found out that one of the boys that I was originally interested in..but then found out he was about to be adopted, isn't going to be adopted anymore..sad for him, GREAT for me!!! So I called the agency and they are sending me his files as well. the sad part is I have three files coming and we can only adopt two boys (we dont even know if we are approved for two from our homestudy)..so this means I may have to choose and I was trying to avoid that. How can I possibly choose? I am excited that the boy is available again, but I dont want to have to choose and say no to a child, I mean the children dont know anything..but still. I feel bad. Maybe someone will adopt one of teh boys, and then I wont have to choose. This will be too hard.

Thanks, but still..I feel sick. I am thrilled to have one of the original boys become available, I really fell for him, but how do you look at these facses, read all about why they are in the orphanage and say no..knowing that he will remain in that orphanage? Now Im praying someone adopts one of these boys, I need this to be narrowed down.

I really feel for you - this has got to be a very difficult process... you just have to hope that the others will be adopted - you can't let that weigh you down, I know its hard, these are little people.. but you can't take them all, you just have to hope there are more souls like you out there and these children will all be cared for..
