My husband and I JUST experienced a disruption (today). We were on our way across three state lines to meet and take the infant to a hotel while we awaited ICPC. The birthmother was going to meet us at the hospital and "pass the baby" to us as she was discharged. While on the road (5 hours into the trip) , the SW called to say that the birthmom had unexpectly decided to parent. We were quite surprised, and simply turned the car around and drove home.
The trip was a total of 10 hours (all in one day). We had packed for a 10 stay for ICPC.
It is quite sad, but not unexpected. I have been reading these boards for months and in the back of my mind always considered the possiblity. We wish the birthmom luck and hope all works out for her. We now await another placement....
(Luckily, we didn't have to pay any costs until the revocation period was over - so our only loss was time and gas)
