Hang in there, TMZ...things can change on a dime!
Perhaps the cousin felt pressured to way yes to care of this little girl, but may not carry through; you never know what turn of events may occur.
I have been in your shoes, and not so many months ago-I feel your pain. The best advice I got was to stay in the moment and enjoy your child every minute of every day!!
BTW, some of my twists and turns include: relative saying she wanted to care for baby, then changing her mind, then changing her mind again, then being ruled out by DCF; then, parents decide to sign identified surrender, then change their minds, then ask for a case plan to get baby back, then sign identified surrender in court...this all happened within a 4 month time frame!!
Fost-adopt is SUCH a roller coaster!
