It's Official - Case #2 Is Down The Tubes

So after some back and forth, and a few hopeful weeks that we would be adopting siblings, a family member has come forward to fight for custody of the children, which means our case is officially over.

I'm sad, disappointed, frustrated and basically a little hopeless. BUT, tomorrow is another day. So today, I can be sad, disappointed, frustrated and hopeless, but tomorrow, the sun will come out, life will go on, and our profile will be shipped.

I am sad for the children. I hope that this family comes together to give them a good life, and put their best interests first. They have already been through a lot, and I hope the family understands that, and is ready to give them the life they deserve.

There is a baby out there for me. I know it. I just hope the next case has a happier ending because I don't know how many more times I can do this. I am thankful for the love, strength and support of my husband. And for Tostitos and nacho cheese which I am currently also finding comfort in. Diet starts tomorrow along with the resurgence of my positive attitude...

Maybe The Third Will Be The Charm?

My day so far...

Received pictures of the kids from the social worker. The children are absolutely adorable. I'm on cloud 9.

Work for 2 hours.

Received call from the social worker telling me that they have hit some snags with the termination rights of both birthparents, she's confused about what's going on, birthmother siad she's going to a different agency, and she doesn't think this is going to happen.

Literally three people lined up outside my office to talk to me, so by the time I even got to process what happened and call hubby, I have it all scrambled in my head. But regardless, it isn't happening.

So, we're back to sending out profiles and hope that we get another call!
