A shocking twist

[mk]

Baby R is going to be adopted by a family that has already adopted his big brother. We're sad, Burr know it's the best thing for him. I just done know why he didn't go right there.

This family had a foster baby that they no longer want if they have baby R. So they want to trade babies. And we're going to do it.

Baby S is a 2 month old boy. At least we'll be able to use all the clothes we have! Still in shock.

wow. a quick introduction to the foster care roller coaster, huh??

I'm sorry for the loss you will feel saying goodbye to R, but am happy that your arms, and soon heart, will be filled immediately by S.

How do you like the family? Think there is any chance to keep in contact?

Wow! A baby trade - sounds kinda crazy but great! Hope it will be a smooth transition for everyone.

Enjoy the new snuggles with baby S!

I am sorry the ride began so early for you. He should've been placed with them from the get go. I hate when they screw up like this. I am happy you will have a new baby ASAP. I hope it lessens the sting.((hugs))

Oh my! Yikes. How heartbreaking and yet exciting at the same time. So many thoughts - frustrating that they didn't place there first, impressed the wacko child welfare system is actually allowing a reasonable solution reasonably quickly, maybe baby S is your baby and this is fate?? You never would have gotten this placement if they hadn't made the odd decision to not call the adoptive family first! Good luck with the transition. FC seems like such a wild ride. But definitely give yourself some space to feel sad about baby R despite the happy news of baby S!!

How heartbreaking and also so wonderful that you will be getting baby S. I am a big believer in things happening for a reason. I hope that S is a wonderful addition to your home.
