My husband and I have been on this roller coaster for nearly three years. We went with legal risk, because we were told that this would be a quicker way. Our first sibling group we had four months and they were ru with their parents (later to return to the system). My next was a baby boy, who we got straight from the hospital. He was a legal risk baby. It was very bumpy at the start, but a year later his adoption was complete. We had a newborn little girl who was given up at birth, but after a week the county moved her. Seems there is a rule you can only do one adoption at a time, unless they are siblings. That one really broke my heart. We decided to keep going, though it was really really hard. Then we were placed with a newborn little girl. That case was simply a mess. She left after two months. I said no more we were done. Then the phone rang a couple of months later and I picked up a nb little boy at the hospital. Nearly a year later and he is still here. His brother joined our family a couple of months ago. Now we hope and pray adoptions comes this year.
If this does not work out, we are done. This past year has been too too much.
Is it tough, yep. The emotional drain is really, really tough, but the rewards are well, well worth it.
