Failed adoption, how did you handle it?
We had a perfect adoption with our 2 1/2 yo son, but our newest birthmother was due at the beginning of December, so we flew to Texas to meet her and await the birth. The day we were to meet her at the agency, she didn't show, so the director tracked her down. She'd delivered the baby 6 days before and not told anyone. I was ok but upset, everyone said I was handling it well, but the past few days have been so teary for me. I know it's the holidays and the depression passes, but please tell me that others have been devastated, too. Not that I want others to be devastated...
We are now matched with another ** who's due in Feb, and it is a much different and open relationship, but I cannot get excited yet. I guess I just want to know how much longer these tears of disappointment will last.
Sorry so long, especially from someone so new to this site!
