Amy definitely has a way with words. I completely agree.
We got blessed with beautiful weather this weekend, huh? I'm so glad you got to the beach and hope you and your DH had a fantastic Father's Day weekend.
I love your positive outlook. It's spot on. I took adoption law in law school and learned secondhand of the terrible experiences some people have. I'm sorry that you had to experience some of that firsthand. Your positive outlook in the face of adversity is an amazing asset to your family, though. Plus, it will make you an amazing mom to the next addition to your family.
It's hard not thinking about all the ways this situation went wrong. Woke up realizing how we had no support including the attorneys we hired. I guess this will be a process we have to get use to. It's crazy.
Sadly, I reached out to them first when I saw the situation on their page. The birth mom picked us immediately and then her attorney wanted payment that day. We needed to find an attorney in her state which took two days and they called it off. They wanted payment immediately. It may have worked out...we will never know...but with that amount of money on the line, we weren't paying anyone without an attorney looking everything over on our behalf.
what an incredible experience - I'm SO glad you didn't get taken for a ride and that it was, like you said, a short and inexpensive lesson. I'm amazed at the lack of advocacy in these lawyers. Sounded like he just wanted to take the money and run for the border. It's crazy their ability to victimize people!!
im sorryt things have not worked out for you. but through it all you have come out stronger and wiser and you know what to expect down the road. also there is a baby out the in the oven just being made esp for you and your family, you just have to be patient and sadly go through moments of ups and downs to get to that perfect family.
i feel sorry for that poor BM and the things she has to go through. i feel so angered that you have people out there that abuse being an attorney and everything is just a paycheck. how sad is your life going to one day turn out if thats all that you care about in life.
sending you and your family love and im sure you heartbroken but know that this bundle was not your bundle. stay strong
