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!

I am so so sorry. I have been thinking of you, and praying for you guys during this time. The limbo has got to be awful.
Are you guys locked in at this agency, or do you have the ability to look elsewhere? I know that sometimes the agencies get you 'locked in' once they get a good chunk of your money. :-( Please feel free to drop me an email anytime. prayingmiraclebaby@yahoo.com
I had another comment/question about your agency that I didn't want to post publicly. Take care.

That is so terrible, Amanda! I'd like to chat more about A. Advantage with you. I left my email in another comment if you lost it from earlier. Are you being shown in all their offices? I hope to hear from you soon, honey!

Just wanted to say I'm so sad you and your husband have to go through this pain, nobody should ever have to know the sorrow you are feeling. I can't even pretend to know the grief you are going through. I'm so glad you have your faith to help you through this. I post on the BBC forum you used to frequent and I wanted you to know that you are in my prayers.

Take Care,
Karen Z

I don't have any suggesions about how to move on. We just closed the door to the nursery. The worst part was the sympathy we received. I didn't want pity. We are still sort of bitter and it has been a year. We have a lot of resentment toward our adoption agency. We would switch if we didn't know that we would lose the start up fees and have to pay them to someone else.
