Bummer Tam, at least it was a quick KO and you didn't wait weeks to hear about it. Our agency told us that most cases get one KO. I hope this was your only one.

Actually that is great news! When we got our ko after 3 weeks with our first adoption I was so excited because I knew someone had actually looked at our file. Then 6 weeks later we were out for good. so good luck to you! That is really good for the norm now days.

KO's are always painful but at least someone looked at your file quickly - and you are going back in quickly. I hope the rest is smooth sailing for Kevin!

KO's are the worst. I am so sorry! We had 2 and I was very sad.

At least it was a quick fix and you are going right back in.

Peace & hope,
