Unhappy lost referral

We found out a couple of weeks ago that her birth mom has changed her mind and decided to take her back. She was 8 1/2 months old and her file was put into PGN on July 26. This is our second lost referral and we are losing hope. We have made the decision to accept a new referral and we are praying that it works out. She will forever be in our hearts.

I'm so sorry. I can't even begin to imagine the grief and stress that you are feeling. Please let us know if there is anything we can do for you. I'm sure it will be difficult not to be very guarded with your next referral, just know it is meant to be!!
