Renay was not who we thought she was!

For those of you who don't know we got some very disturbing news last week to add to everything we've gone through the past five months. I received a phone call from the agency on Wendesday with an update. It appears we've been scammed!! Renay has done nothing but lie for months now and has robbed our dreams and several others of becoming parents. It appears it may go back as far as 2002. We are almost positive there are more that just aren't aware that it was never true. Renay is not and has not been pregnant this entire time. We are pretty sure she has NEVER been pregnant and that she has NO other children. Everything was a lie!! The first baby, the almost miscarrying that baby, the second baby, the cancer, and her changing her mind. She knew she had to do something because she couldn't produce any babies!! I'm furious and we are heartbroken once again that she has done this. We are upset that our agency didn't protect us from her. That's what an agency is for! They never once verified her pregnancy or any of her medical records as they told us they did.

There have been different variations of her story. Some couples were told it was a single pregnancy and some were told twins only to be told later that one passed away in the womb. I thank God she at least spared us of that misery. I have been exchanging emails with another lady whom Renay betrayed. Our stories are almost identical with minor changes here and there. They were told twins and are as prepared as we are. How can someone prey on people who can't have children and literally torture them for months? It's just extremely hard to comprehend! She only got $250 for maternity clothes but she stole our dreams, hopes, and tormented us emotionally!
I feel as if she has even moved into our home since we have a completed nursery that constantly reminds me of what she done to our family!

BTW: If the two babies that we've loved in our hearts would have actually existed they would have been a month old today!

Not much to update

We really know nothing more than we did three weeks ago. The girls should have been a week old on Friday and Renay hasn't even sent word that they've been born and that everyone is ok. We would even like to know how Renay is doing. How her treatments are going and so forth. As the days progress I am growing more bitter with her decision to not give us any updates. We are not asking for continued contact. We only want to know that they were born and if they are in the NICU or what. I need answers so that I can try to find peace with her decision to parent. I feel lost these days. How do you go from preparing to bring home a precious baby to preparing to bring home two precious babies to such heartache? We have a completed nursery with no knowledge of when we may be able to fill it. Our contact with the agency has dwendled down to nothing unless we call with a question. We were told that we would be added back to their list of hopeful adoptive couples according to our application date. This really gives us NO comfort at this point! We need answers that I'm afraid we may never get!
