Sorry to give everybody false hope for the weekend…. I can’t explain the whole thing on the internet for everybody to see, but it comes down to the birth mother changing her mind. In most states there are a certain number of days that the birth mother has after signing adoption paperwork to decide she doesn’t want to place her baby, she wants to keep him (or her). In our case, our birth mother couldn’t let go. There’s a lot more involved because of social services and drugs and such, but that’s all I can put online. It was a really rough few days, the worst of my life. But Ben is with family, I have a great support group here in Alaska so we’re both doing a lot better. Thanks to everybody who has helped us through this, and thanks to the best family ever. I feel so loved right now, even through all the pain. :)
