Until I get picked anyway. We just had our 3rd committee. If we don't get picked again I'm going to be so emotionally drained. How many tries did it take you? I've heard of one to five times at committee. We've got to be getting close, right? Pray our new committee date is soon and in our favor.

I know how you feel, at our first committee, we were sure she was the one for us. I mean, it was a totally GREAT fit!! We were so stunned and shocked to not get chosen. I mean, it was that good of a fit. I still wonder what they could have been thinking at that meeting? I did hear later that the family that got chosen, had made it clear that this was their last committee and if they didn't get the child they would quit. I still can't shake the feeling that they got MY child. :(We were chosen at the next committee, and were equally shocked. Why the Heck did they pick us for this little girl?? The more I learn about her the more I question it? So maybe I'm not the best person to give you hope. I have very little faith in the system at this point. And I'm suspicious about why the committee meetings are so secretive. :(

We went to committee on four children before we were the chosen family for our daughter. It was very hard, so I totally understand where you are coming from. Everyone told us not to get emotionally involved with the children before we were chosen, but in every case, I felt they were ours. It was draining. Don't give up (easy for me to say :p )
Thank you for the replies. I say this fourth time will be the last, but I know I'll just keep going till I have my family. It's just so hard. I can't sleep for days before committee and then after I'm so down. I've got one coming up on two little girls. I begged myself not to get attached to the idea of them, but I totally am and have even bought a lot of things just in case I do get them. (Things I can give my nieces just in case I don't get them.) The waiting is hideous!
