Sorry to hear about the turn of events. Just know that it WILL happen. That is awseome that you took a sibling group
. My daughter M has three siblings we know (although can't have contact with one any more). She also has 4 other half siblings we no NOTHING about...not ages, genders, names. And I am sure there will be more half sibs on both sides (bmom and bdad). It is tough. Why can't they order (and eforce) these people to be on long-term birth control
.
Anyway, you are stil very close to the end. I understand appeals are almost neve won. But I know it is really hard waiting and not having the certaintly and permenance that comes with finalization. Hang in there!
