Disappointment with Foster to Adopt

Our story began 2 years ago after suffering a miscarriage after 4 years of TTC and some fertility treatment. We started classes in January 2005 to become foster to adopt parents. All went well and by March we were licensed. On April 29th we got "the call". We got a 2 month old beautiful daughter! It seemed like it took forever to get the adoption finalized, but it wasn't a bad process. Adoption was final on June 14th, 2006. We got phone call about baby brother in June 06. We tried it for a couple of weeks, but it was too much for us due to having to set up visit with birth mother. She hated us due to the fact that we adopted her other child. We asked that brother be placed in another home. Current foster mother got in touch with us in November 06 and we started doing visits with brother and decided that if she didn't want to adopt then we wanted to be considered, the parent's rights were in the process of being taken. Foster mother consented and we began the process again! DHR worker came out to inspect to make sure home was still safe. Found no problem. Less than a month later another worker came out to do the same thing and jerked the brother from our home due to a "messy front porch"...we were in the process of remodeling the living room. There is something very underhanded going on within our county and as a result, I have lost all faith in our social services. Beware!
