Hello everyone,
It is with sadness and tears that I write to tell you all that the province received our little girls file and has returned it to our agency. They told our agency that she is older than the 14 months requested and we will not be allowed to adopt her.
We are truly frustrated, as we just spent the last two months trying to hurry up the province, while papers sat on desks, vacations were taken...etc., etc. Our little girls file is now 3 weeks past the 14 months requested.
Where is the compassion...and who's interest are they looking out for? Is it ours? How? Is it the little girls? How? Is it better to send this little girls file back and have her wait maybe another year before someone else can adopt her? All because of 3 weeks. For the time that was spent on getting this together, 2 weeks were waisted writing a "one page" letter, and another week that letter spent sitting on a desk...signed...just not sent out...there's 3 weeks. This little girls special need is not that she has a cleft palate...it is because she is 3 weeks too old.
But we are not giving up. We have a strong group of friends that are helping us fight this horrible nightmare. And we are going to fight for our daughter. I have spoken with our social worker and she said she will speak to the Adoption Coordinator on our behalf.
Everyone please say a prayer for us...and our little girl.

Dear Natalie,
Carolyn told me about this situation and then I read your blog. If there is anything I can do to help please let me know and I will do it...sign a petition, write a letter, make a phone call...This just seems so unreal and uncaring. I cannot believe it, all you want is your daughter. I will pray for you.
