Another failed adoption and a BAD day!

After our second failed adoption (in 6 weeks), I told our agency that we weren't much interested in any situation until papers had been signed by bparents and the waiting time was over. Yep, that's what we did last June19th (Father's Day, incidentally), and we couldn't be happier. Took about a year for us to get selected, but the papers were all signed and the agency had assumed custody of our little one. We had 2 failed adoptions, but not that close together. Anyway, a lot of people here have jumped all over me about closed adoption and how its "better for the child". I don't buy it for a lot of reasons, including the fact that I'm an adult adoptee. I think its probably better for the birthparents, or seems like it will be. Our little one will be 1 year old very soon! I wouldn't have it any other way.
