Well we got called today...
But we said no.
I hate saying no. Even if I know that it's probably for the best.
It was a 2 1/2 yr old girl. She needed to be moved tomorrow into a pre-adoptive home because she isn't being well cared for in her current kinship foster home.
She has sickle-cell disease, which is really the reason we said no, although our hearts are set on a boy as well.
It's so tough to make a life-changing decision in 10 minutes or so. Daryl and I talked about if we would have said yes if it was a boy with sickle-cell or a girl who was healthy. It's just impossible to know how things will work out down the road. And it's hard to trust my gut because it wants to say yes to everything. Even right now I'm doubting as to whether we should have said yes.
Blah! It helps a little venting about it though. So thanks for listening.
, find it in your selfless heart to know you are doing the right thing by saying no. It must be so very hard to say no when you are always thinking about other people. Glad you shared and vented here.
