I am so very sorry you are going through this. We were matched with an emom who is having a c-section this upcoming Friday. We got a call Thursday from the SWer saying they have decided they are going to parent. I know how heartbreaking this is, and I was hoping and praying you were not going to have to feel this. . .hug that very wise daughter of yours and take that family vacation. . .my thoughts are with you.

Thank you for your thoughts and support. :thanks: The wisdom that I hope to share with anyone considering or already involved in the domestic adoption process is this: If there is a birth father invoved; be VERY cautious, in all three cases of our failed adoption placements it has been due to the birth father; where as with our daughter's adoption, the bfather was never in the picture. Same with my cousin who just adopted a beautiful baby boy in Indiana; the bdad was gone from day one. We have informed our agency to only call us with a bmom who is considering placing with us if there is not a bdad in the picture at all. Our family just cannot take the risk or heart ache anymore. :( At this point it is one day at a time and completley being thankful for the HUGE blessings already in our lives.
Oh, faith, I am so very very sorry to hear this. I can't imagine how devastated you are right now. I agree - a nice trip away with your husband and daughter is in need. And don't feel like you need to just "get over" this (which alot of people who have never been in this situation expect). Take the time to grieve this loss...
LB, I'm so sorry to you as well.
My heart is breaking for both of you.
(((Hugs))) to you both.
I am so sorry to hear that both of you have a failed match. I cant imagine how hard it is for you and your families.
I agree that a family vacation is in order, go and have fun and get your mind off of what might have been and instead focus on what is NOW and make the best of it.
Again, Im so very sorry you had to go through with this, Rach
Hi everyone; well Baby Boy that was born on 1/7/11 came home with us on 1/17/11 after all!:clap: Long story short the teen parents realized it was the best decision and placed him with us on Monday! We are so in LOVE with him!!:grouphug: Now we just have to wait for the TPR court date which should be within about 30 days or so. Our many prayers have been answered and his birthmom is truly our angel! :wings: Will keep updating.

Hi everyone; just thought I would give a quick update to anyone who has been following. Baby boy is doing well and is now over 3 weeks old; wow time flies; the TPR date should be very soon and we should know the exact date any time now. We are enjoying him so much and feel so blessed to have him in our lives! :cloud9: I have spoken to the bmom who states she and the bdad are doing well; she sounds a lot happier since the last time we spoke and is looking forward to getting her temporary driver's liscense this week as she is 15. I pray everyday that she has peace in her heart. Sounds like they probably will not come to visit us until after the TPR. In the meantime, we are enjoying the joys of having two wonderful children to love! :love: :laundry:
