This word, and its synonyms, describe my day exactly:
Entry: disappointment
Function: noun
Definition: letdown
Synonyms: bitter pill, blind alley, blow, blunder, bringdown, bummer, bust, calamity, defeat, disaster, discouragement, downer, downfall, drag, dud, error, failure, false alarm, faux pas, fiasco, fizzle, impasse, inefficacy, lemon, miscalculation, miscarriage, mischance, misfortune, mishap, mistake, no go, obstacle, setback, slip, washout
Let it be known to all that although adoption is a loving option (as those cutesy pro-life posters read) it is not always an easy option. We trust that God will expand our family in His perfect timing. But as for today, I’ve tasted the bitter pill… and it really sucks.
