This time last year we were in the middle of a crazy emotional roller coaster. We had been contacted by Lillian's birth parents, seen her beautifully formed body during an ultrasound, met with the lawyer and signed our paperwork only to find out her birth parents did not sign theirs. They assured us they had not changed their minds but wanted to show our profile to their family over the weekend and would meet back up with us on Monday. One of the anthems we were preparing at the time in choir had this amazing line..."From our sorrow springs new joy; out of sin, grace lifts its voice. In our weakness comes strength to fight; there is hope in the night." Great sorrow was to come when we would not get the follow up meeting with Lillian's birth parents. We felt so raw and our hearts ached with a pain we had experienced only once before with the loss of our first baby through miscarriage. We did not understand what God was doing and honestly to this day I don't understand the reason for the way it all happened, BUT we had to trust God was in control. And truly when I look back at it all... from our sorrow new joy did spring, out of sin grace did lift it's voice, in our complete weakness HE gave us strength to fight and so there was hope in the night.
