It was not our time

It has been over a month so I can post now. We went to LA and met birth mother 1. It was exciting and nervous and scary. It seemed to go well. She brought her best friend which actually made it a little less awkward. We talked over dinner for a few hours. We really connected and it felt good. We maintained contact with her through email and about 3 weeks after the meeting she chose another family to match with. We knew that it was down to us and 1 one other family when we met with her. We really thought she was going to be the one. But that was not God's plan for us.
Around the same time we had 3 other contacts. They were all very brief and we didn't hear from them again.
Since then we have not had any contacts. It has been over a month since birth mother 1 picked the other family. I think we are just now accepting it. It was really hard in the beginning but we have both been very busy and that helps. We continue to wait for our baby. However God brings them to us.
