Lots of stressful, sad stuff going on that I cannot blog about but in the midst also some answers to prayer.
Veteran adoption blogger Cindy has experienced the same on more than one occasion and through her stories, I am at least not shocked or unprepared to be facing it too. A snatch from her always-enlightening blog today:
"...not only is there rarely gratitude, you'll be lied about by the very ones you've chosen to help. She called it character assassination and she's right on the money. BTDT. It certainly sucks and makes one question why so many deeply painful sacrifices end up being so sadly unrewarding. Usually it's just a big ole OUCH. And life goes on. And on."
I have faith that down the road we will see the reward. Until then....OUCH.
