After all that

I cannot believe what is happening. We got a phonecall yesterday from our homestudy worker. Our province denied our application. They said we need to have 6 months in between children. We tried explaining that there is that time in between. So they back tracked and said we hid everything from them. We told them we were advised not to say anything till the 6 month mark because of my history. They told us to resubmit in 8 months but until then we have been removed from all lists which is not fair because we haven't even had this child yet. They can't remove us because I am pregnant!

I don't know what is going to happen. This means if we resubmit in 8 months, we would be looking at placement around October 2010. But if I get pregnant again any time, its on hold again. I don't have many years left to have more biological children, so now what do we do? Frankly Matt is so pissed that he just wants to stop it all but this is my dream. I am turning my back on a child and I can't do that.

Either way, we are out approx $3000. We had already paid the non-refundable retainer because I wanted to be proactive. That will teach me.

That doesn't seem fair... Can you talk to a lawyer and see if you can appeal it?

What a load of crap! I'm so sorry your province is putting you through this. There are so many ways it doesn't make sense, but I guess none of those make any difference at this precise moment.
