We were there too, but my DH said it, If not us, then who? He wanted a baby, not a toddler, and we even had a chance to "turn her back in for a younger referral" but we both said no in no uncertain terms. I knew for us there was no other option than to stick with it, and after all that she is coming home as a "baby" (our baby) as far as we are concerned, (though it wouldn't have mattered if she was a toddler or youngster) that would have been a fine blessing too.
It is a deeply personal decision, but those of us with tough timelines have probably all thought about it at one time or another. I also held onto my friends Suz Lockhart (and of course, edited to add wonderful, generous Dawn posting just below me) for perspective. They made me realize that it would be worth all of the heartache. If I hadn't stuck it out, I wouldn't have them in my life either.
I hope God gives them some peace, one way or the other.
