Hi Sherry,
I think it's amazing that I just came across your thread. My husband and I were matched with the little girl that we had applied for and we were so very excited. However, we met with her social worker and foster mom and teachers yesterday and the meetings were not what we had planned and now we are feeling really down. We don't know what to do and we feel like bad people for having second guesses.
The little girl we wanted has Fetal Alchohol Syndrom. We knew that going in and were told that she was about a year behind in almost everything and that was okay with us. Yesterday at our meetings we found out that she is more then a year behind and that there are other factors contributing to her disablities that we didn't know about. Now we are having second thoughts on weather this is more then we can handle or not.
I feel terrible, I don't know what to do, I can't stop crying. I've wanted this for so long and now I don't know if it's what I can do. I definetly want to adopt, I just don't know if this is the child for us.
Please somebody help me sort out my feelings.
Thanks,
Stacy
