So today was about the 4th time we have had a call for a placement, we've accepted, and then it has fallen through. And as of now (after8pm) no one even called to say it wasn't happening!! That has happened 3 out of 4 times. I know this is probably not out of the ordinary, but it is still frustrating. Our acceptance window is pretty narrow (only girls 0-6, licensed for 2 but one has to be under age 2) and we keep getting calls for older boys, sibling groups of both genders, and I feel terrible for saying no all the time!!!!!!! I mean, at least I know they haven't forgotten us, but it is hard getting excited and then just having it fizzle out. Tonight was the worst b'c my bd was so excited, she is 7, and then she went to bed crying b'c "i just know she is not coming mom! they never do!" I guess on one hand its great that they have family to go to, but this is still pretty tough waiting and then disappointment and then more waiting...ugh....:eek:

Oh my goodness, I can so empathize with you! We were licensed in December and had 3 phone calls that all fell through and each time someone would say, "Oh no one called you?" Then we finally got a phone call for our precious little angel but my husband and I had made up our minds not to get excited until they called and said they were on their way. I said "yes" to the facilitator and about ten minutes later I received a phone call from the CW saying she would be at my house in 20 minutes! Then panic set in;)...Don't worry; it'll be well worth the wait when they bring you a perfect match!
