Adoption Stress

I’ll be honest…I am in a really bad place as far as the adoption goes right now. We heard over a month ago that a birth mom was looking at our portfolio along with 6 others. 2 weeks later we are told she narrowed it down to us and one other couple and that she really likes us. After 2 weeks of hearing nothing we called our social worker who said she was sick and hadn’t been able to call but that the birth mom hadn’t decided yet.
It’s been 2 weeks since that update and we still know nothing. Now I realize and have come to terms with the fact that we must not have been chosen but I feel that I need the closure of an official update from our agency. I just need to hear for sure that we were not picked.  Is that weird?  Am I expecting too much?

It's not weird. I like official statements more than just assumptions.

And there hasn't been an official statements yet, so might still have been chosen. You never know.

Good luck.

Being left hanging just gives your mind time to think too much. I like yes and no as it leaves no room for doubt. You are totally valid in your feelings on this.
Big hug.

I also want a direct answers for whatever it is so that I won't be left hanging.

Just stay strong and you will always be with my prayers.

No, it's not weird. You have a lot of hanging on with this mother. And you just need to hear that she picked another couple so you can move on.

I bet you, it's not what you think.

It is not weird and you are not expecting too much AT ALL! This is a huge step/life changing moment, and you just want to know.
I hope you hear something soon :) Keeping my fingers crossed!!

It's not weird at all the you want the "official' word. I always think that until I get the stamp of whatever that there is always a chance. You never know what is going on for the reason that you haven't gotten a update. And that reason might be good in your favor.

Hang in there Rachel.
