Another one dead in the water. The couple with the 10 month old and baby due in May are fighting the state to keep their kids.
The kids in Florida have been removed from their Dad, now, too. So the family asks us to reconsider, and we delay deciding until we found out about the two kids locally, yesterday, and now want to pursue them in Florida. But, in the meantime - just over the weekend, one of the family members who was supportive of us is scared that someone else will get them and not us, so they are trying to decide if they want them instead. They are the social worker's first pick, and could take them, and we would have no say at all. I feel back-stabbed. I suppose I won't stay mad, but I've been mad most of the day. This might take me a while. I just don't understand why they didn't consider this last fall, before ever asking us to adopt the kids. Why now? Why after we've been involved since early Oct? I don't get that.
Ok. Enough from me. I just can't manage to do much more. Sorry to all the posts I'm not reading, I just don't have it in me to do it right now.
