new here-second failed adoption in 6 weeks
My husband and I have been on an emotional roller coaster. We matched with a bmom in Feb. We paid her living expenses until she delivered on April 3. We drove to MS, held baby and took care of him. On day of discharge, as we prepared to leave hosp with him, bmom got upset (she was unstable) and left hospital with him. (AFter she tried to get more rent money out of us.) Fast forward to May 15. We received a call on a last minute delivery in NC. We drove 9 hours and met mom, who had already delivered on May 13. She decided to place with us. We left the hosp with a beautiful baby girl that evening. We knew we had to wait 7 days for reliquishment to be final. That was okay, we thought she was firm in her decision. (she was 20 yr old college student). After 2 days, she changed her mind. She had told her family and gotten their support. We were and are devastated. We don't know how much more of this we can take. This seems to be a system that has low odds for success. (Our birthletter went 'in the book" almost two years ago- August of 2004) Thanks for letting me vent.
