We turned down our first referral based on the baby's medical conditions. I cried for almost three days straight because I was so worried about what would happen to the baby. My husband assured me that he just wasn't meant for us and that there was another family out there who was perfect for him.
I still worry every so often, but I know it was the right decision for us. It's so hard, but we had to be true to what we could handle. If we had a child who developed problems later on, of course we would love him/her and do everything that needed to be done. Making the decision in advance was awful.
After turning it down, I didn't want another referral and I felt so unworthy. But now, a month later, I am excited again to get a new referral. I have a great deal of hope!
