We never had to turn down a match, but we did turn down being shown a few times. I second guessed msyelf like crazy. For me, I got my peace by thinking about what the child deserved. The kids we turned down deserved to go into a home where the parents felt nothing but excited. I had reservations. They deserved parents without reservations. I was confident those parents were out there. I knew there were parents who would have no reservations and be so excited to welcome them into their homes and lives. The parents would not ever feel like they were 'settling.' That was not how I was feeling.
