Greetings from Moscow, we have had a tough few days.
I'll start with the good stuff:
All our flights were on time and we had no troubles along the way. The one highlight of the trip was running into a Sorority Sister that I haven't seen for 20 years (Patti F.) in the Munich airport. How random and wonderful is that? And, she has recently moved to Moscow which is very cool and hopefully we'll get together at some point before we leave.
Now for the tough stuff:
After spending two days with a very cute and sweet little 18 month old boy we made the extremely difficult decision not to adopt him because of high potential for significant issues down the road.
As you can probably imagine this is tearing us both apart and is one of the hardest things we have ever had to do. I don't think either of us was prepared for how awful this would be.
We don't know what is going to happen next. Right now, we hope that we may get a second referral by early next week but it is possible that we may come home Saturday (as planned) without one.
Thanks everyone for your support and prayers!
We will try to post again when we have more information.

Hang in there, good things will happen!....you are in our thoughts, we miss you :)
I was afraid when you didn't post something that things were not going so well. I am thinking about you and hoping and praying that things work out. I know this is really, really hard. Love you both, Mom and Dad G.

Meghan and Bill,
Got your blog information from Leslie T at CC and thought I'd drop you a line to say I've been thinking of you. We experienced what you're going through and agree it is truly awful for a bunch of reasons - but try to hang in there! Trusting the process is very hard sometimes but your child is waiting for you - have no doubt. Wishing you patience and strength for the journey!! Take care of yourselves,

Dears,
Words seem inadequate comfort in times like these...i wish we could all just fold arms around you both, and we will soon. In the meantime keep hope in your hearts and know that you have so many people who love and support you.
Peg and Bruce
