It was a wonderful visit. She even told us she wanted to come back. We were so thrilled. For about five days, until her therapist told us Madison had changed her mind. Then the next we heard was that the judge ruled us out as a permanency option. We were and are still crushed. At least we got to tell her of our love, of our sorrow, and hopefully took away any feeling of guilt on her behalf.
But we are trying to move on. We still feel like its our mission to adopt and offer several children a permanent family. We will never forget Madison, nor stop hoping things will change. Our hope and belief is that God is still driving this and someday it we will understand the purpose behind all this pain and frustration. It is my faith that it will all work out someday. We love you Madison! And all our children, the ones we see often, and the ones we don't. Family makes life worth living. Thank Heaven it's eternal!
