No news isn't always good news

After no bites on our profile in nearly a year, we had a call in February about sending out our long profile to a potential birth family. We agreed, and were as hopeful as always; sadly, we weren't chosen.

In some ways, this roller coaster is even more difficult than the infertility roller coaster, though physically it is certainly much easier. However, now there's someone else doing the choosing, rather than my body just not working right. To be "not chosen" can be very difficult.

Hmph.

It did spur us to update our adoption website and short profile; here's the new link. I like the way it reads and looks.
