*Ring ring* Hello?
Today around 1:00, I received a call from our agency about a 1 year old HEALTHY little girl. Parental rights are set to be terminated next month. They need an adoptive home and thought we'd be a good match. We said yes. Our agency had to call the county dept of human services to let them know and then we'd hear back as we'd need to pick her up today. We were so excited and I couldn't stop smiling. One hour and 30 min. later I still hadn't heard back from our agency or from the county. I called several times and then finally at 3:00 got an answer. "Sorry, the county decided had already found another home." knew that it was a possibility but since they had called specifically asking about us, I thought they weren't looking at other homes. So, I had to tell my boss I'm no longer needing to take time off, tell my co-workers who were right there when we got the call that the placement wasn't happening, as well as pick my heart up off of the floor. Andy and I both were very disappointed ok, crushed but have to believe that the right call will come.

Hugs!
I pray that one day the phone will ring and that the next thing you'll know is that there is a little one sleeping soundly in his/her new bed in your home. I can't wait to read that post...I will be doing the happy dance and praising God, that you have a child to love and a child has a safe place to land and be loved.
Ugh! My heart jumped for you when I read that you had received a phone call...and then it dropped when I saw that they picked another home. Talk about a real life rollar coaster all in one afternoon!! I am sooo sorry that, that happened! :::VIRTUAL HUGS:::
Did they say why they were looking for multiple homes even after you agreed? Is there a way to avoid that in the future?
