Here's the thing:

When building adoptive relationships, it is important to create trust. We do this by doing what we say we're going to.

So, in your shoes, I would continue to check in weekly, even if this is unreturned. If you've got more than a few weeks of non-response, leave a final message wishing her luck and giving her a method to reach you. Then, let it go.

She has not committed to making an adoption plan with you, nor you her. Regardless of what she does, until you've got a firm connection, I'd advise you keep yourselves open to other situations that may present themselves.
