I'm sorry to say it but welcome to the wonderful world of foster care!

It's totally unpredictable. We had at least 4 calls like this one (one when we were on vacation and sat at the airport waiting to see if we had to fly home to get a 4 month old...which we eventually didn't get).

Don't trust anything until the baby is on the way. Plus, sometimes it's better to do all of this back and forth now BEFORE you have the baby. It's better for the family to step in now rather than when you've had the baby for a week or two and totally fallen in love.

We didn't get that 4 month old but were placed with an 18 day old baby who we still have. Good luck and I'm sure the right placement for you will come along.
