Buying a house after bankrupcy

My husband and I went bankrupt and are now discharged and we are trying our hardest to save for a house, we can only save approx $800 per month and we are renting at $1130 per month.  We are wondering if there is anyone else out there that has been in the same position with 2 people going bankrupt and applying for a home loan.  We have had discussions with the bank and they have inticated that we may have a chance but we are a little scared if we save our hardest and they still knock us back.  We have started buildind our credit up, I have always paid our credit card off on time and have never been late with a payment and there is nothing on our credit file except our bankrupcy and our bills are always paid on time.  Is there every a time were we wont pay for going bankrupt or should we be hesitant and accept the fact we wont get anywhere in life now????
