Home w/out our dd - We're Done!
Well - we came home early, and without a dd. They did basically the same thing as they did with the last girl - once we got there they decided she should not be adopted out. They wanted to show us other children - but we don't see a 4th trip in our future soon, so we are done.
No details to share right now - still too frustrating and exhausting. Maybe later. Just wanted to share.

I just don't understand how they can to this to you! Did your agency not have some sort of heads up that this could happen? I am just so sorry you have had to endure such frustrations.
