After researching and researching adoption agencies we chose Caring Adoptions in Houston Texas. We were told about their program and the number of opportunities that were on the horizon. We now know most of this was false information. To get any current updates from them we have to call and email over and over and over again to get an answer. We have been presented with ONE potential match in a three month window. We are invested in them financially or else we would pick up and run as fast as we could. All the money we have paid is non refundable. We feel like we have fallen 1000000000 feet backwards. We feel like we have let our support group down with a poor choice in agencies, however we did not see through the lies. At the time we are apologizing to everyone for any and all disappointments.
I believe I have hit my lowest of lows emotionally. Unless you have been through this before... I do not think anyone can understand the pain that we have in our hearts right now.
Thank you to everyone that has been by our side. Thank to everyone that has helped us reach our financial goals.
We will keep you updated.
Im praying every day for you Apple,Hold on to faith and love and let yourself gather strength from others.I love you <3
ReplyDeleteAh honey I'm sorry. These "things" are such a hard thing to go through and sadly seem so much to be the norm.
ReplyDeleteyes we've all heard of a best friends friends cousin who sent in her neatly filled out information with money and poof had a kid. Never that simple.
So much emotional toll that is unimaginable until you take each painful step. Support groups are amazing and I'm so glad you guys have many but I also know that there is nothing like talking to someone who has been in the adoption black hole themselves. Remember you can text or email me anytime!! Or that old fashion calling thing. ;-)
I can not stand "Don't worry. It will happen when it's meant to." and I WON'T do that to you but I will say that this challenge in this adventure of building your family will fall away the moment those little feet enter your loving home. xo
Also.... lol,
ReplyDeleteI know the feeling of raising funds and then having them gone due to a necessary change. Your support group knows that you two are doing what you can, when you can and how you can each moment. Any second judgements have NO PLACE in the adoption process. There is enough guilt that goes along with it to begin with. Release yourselves of that.
