We can't help but feel saddened and overwhelmed at the prospect of starting this process over again. It is hard to accept and to move on but that is what we are going to do. Our dream has been to adopt a sibling group and we still have that dream. We have a feeling it will take us quite some time because we do not live in the United States currently. We have also learned a lot about the way the adoption process works through all of this.
There are recruiters that look for possible adoptive families who are the ones that actually get to know the potential adoptive families. Recently almost every state has developed these "permanancy boards". These boards are made up of the people who actually get the final say in who adopts children. The kicker is that the people on the permanency committee have NEVER spoken with the families in question. So it is all about looking good on paper. I am sure there must have been a good reason to start these boards but I just don't see the point at the moment. If it were my children I would want the people who chose their new family to have at the very least SPOKEN to the potentials.
We are not holding our breath for a match any time soon, but we are moving onward. As always we know that God has a plan for us and we are just waiting to see what it is. Prayers are always appreciated. Thank you.
