"Never Count your Chickens Before they Hatch!"

Wise words!

My husband just spoke those very words to me this past weekend. But I have always been of the thought process - "if you build they will come!" I guess Paul wins...

I just received a call from CAS telling us that the WORST has HAPPENED. 'At the eleventh hour the Birthfather has said that his sister is putting forth an adoption plan for "Sadie". So, that being said it is not wise for us to go forward with the meeting tomorrow.' 'It would just be too hard on everyone concerned.'

At this point nobody knows anything about this so called sister of his. Like what kind of woman she is, if she is a transient like her brother, or mother of the year? We don't even know if she is aware of her brother's plans, or aware of "Sadie" for that matter. We are hoping beyond hope that this is just the birthfather's way of stalling the proceedings. BUT, it could very well all be true. As it stands - our meeting tomorrow is no longer, and we should know more about the situation on Tuesday of next week.

Obviously Paul and I are pretty upset - as it seems we always take two steps forward and then 4 steps back. This situation has been beyond frustrating from the get go, but we are optimistic that this will all be worth it in the end.

Please pray for us, and cross your fingers and toes. We need all the hope we can get.

I should be talking to the birthmother either tonight or tomorrow and we hope she can shed some light on this UGLY SITUATION!

PRAY HARD!!

We're praying with our toes and fingers crossed too. Seems so unfair.
Try and stay strong and positive.
Surely this is a little hiccup on the road to having Sadie home with the two of you and big sister Ruby!

Thanks to everyone! The more this sinks in the more frustrated we get. We really do hope this is all just another chapter in our story that ends happily.

It a roller coaster ride for sure but we have the faith. We'll pray like we never have before.

Keep the faith - good things happen to positive people!
