| Anonymous | Posted: Oct 22, 2003 10:03:32 PM Our birth mother changed her mind after we had traveled, waited for a week for the birth and bonded with the baby for two days. We were devistated but we also believe that there is a baby out there for us. The agency and the social worker were wonderful! They have followed up with us several times since then. We have been assured that this does not happen very often (but it can) at all and we hope next time we have a better outcome. | ||
| Jessica | Posted: Oct 16, 2003 03:13:26 PM After only 7 weeks of being active, we had a match with a birthmother that was overdue, so we were headed for a quick placement. Unfortunately, the birthmother changed her mind right after we were told - she stopped communicating with the Agency, not returning calls, etc. The Agency was great through the process. They were very upfront with their concerns and even advised us NOT to pay the fees because they couldn't contact her. Although we were disappointed, we were grateful that she had changed her mind BEFORE we traveled and saw the baby. We are back waiting again and have no hard feelings toward the birthmother. We realize what a tremendous sacrifice they are making. We have faith through this whole process that we will get the baby we were meant to have! | ||
