Actually, I am quite surprised that the agency would have agreed to allow you to surrender a child after such a short time for such a petty reason. I have to wonder to what level of hysterics were reached for the agency to agree to the surrender. Further, I am sure that the situation has full bearing on their decision to allow you to adopt again. I think you are right that it would be very hard to get a social worker to be sympathetic.

Basically, you both had colds and your child had an ear infection and that seems fairly par for the course in parenting. Further, there were actually 2 adults for one child. Take turns taking care of the child. Sorry, I don't have much sympathy. I guess I can't understand this as I am planning to be a single parent. Now if one or both of you were so sick that you required hospitlilazation that would be a different story.
