Don't be discouraged and hang in there. If you are not ready to raise the babies for yourself, then keep looking until you find the perfect parents. I also encourage all families to consider an open adoption which will help you with your sense of loss, will help the child latter and will hopefully build a lifelong family relationship between you and the adoptive family. My sons birthfamily is part of our extended family now and I know they feel the same way.

Best wishes,
