Ugh, I'm frustrated for you. What do you think may have prompted all of these negative messages? The birth mother doesn't actually think she's going to keep her children, does she? It sounded so favorable in the beginning... I would not hesitate to speak with the adoption specialists on this, and SS as well. It's just too wierd, this sudden change of heart. They will only favor family if the best interests of the children are with family, otherwise they will look beyong them to satisfy those needs. I am praying for you, and hope that you can raise these children. But please try to keep your heart open to other prospective children that need a loving home. Know that you will become parents to a child that truly needs you. It will happen, when the time and circumstances are right. Keep your chin up, and stay strong! Best of luck!
