baby is going home thursday....

[mydogstinks2]

and there is nothing I can do about it. He will be dirty all the time and live with parents who do not know how to care for him. I guess if you live in Michigan that is ok.

needless to say I'm pretty pissed off about this whole thing! I can tell you this I will never do this again!! I will never turn my life upside down to care for someone else child let alone all the money I have spent on clothes and things he needs!

:( Oh Chris ... i am so sorry to hear this!!!! ((((HUGS)))))))

[Lori]

[Christie]

[jazzypurple853]

[spredbirds]

Sorry Chris ... I know it's hard! Hugs going out to you!

[shuggy]

[KarenM]

That's heartbreaking! I'm so sorry. Hugs from Tennessee.

[Mrs. Middleton]

O god thts horrible.. I'm sooo very sorry... Big hugs

[suzi_f]

So sorry Chris. But know that for a few months, he had someone who was there for him & cared for him. The system STINKS but you are a terrific person for doing this. The system needs more people like you & it would probably stink a little less!!! {{{hugs}}}

[hbpuppy]

I'm sorry Chris. Just remember, loving a child is never a waste. You gave him your best and that is exactly what he deserves. Hugs!!!!!!

[CharityHand]

I'm so sorry! You gave that baby a beautiful gift no matter how short the period of time that you had with him. Remember that it doesn't always work out that way. Friends of ours are parents to two beautiful children that they've adopted through foster parenting. The first baby they tried to adopt didn't work out and it was heartbreaking for them, but it's amazing how it worked out in the end. They got to take their first child home from the hospital right after she was born and they just finalized the adoption of their second child a few months ago.

Chris, I am so sorry. I know the bond that has been created and now it has just been broken. I am so glad that he had that short time with you. I know it's heart breaking. I'm sure there will be another door opening for you soon.

[Rebecca]

Oh Chris, I am so sorry ((((Hugs)))) The system stinks!!

[RubberLady603]

Life is so unfair sometimes. I feel bad for you and the baby! Sending you hugs......

[maxiesmom]

Am I remembering wrong, are they some kind of family member? Will you be able to see him at some point, monitor how he's doing? So sorry the courts mistakenly think those "people" can take appropriate care of him. hugs

[teabear]

It's the same way here and we have friends who've been through this heartache. Your time and love are valuable and have made an impact on his life. I can't imagine the pain you feel. Sending lots of hugs.

[cindi]

oh Chris, I'm so sorry! I'm sure you are heartbroken and worried for the little guy. I wish I could come give you a big hug. instead I'll ahve to send you one
(((hugs))):wubclub:

[limeyscrapper]

I'm sad for you! I can only imagine what you are going through right now. Just remember that you gave the little guy a great start and a lot of love.
I hope that your worst fears aren't realized, and that the young parents can handle their responsibilities.

[milmogando]

Chris I'm so sorry for your loss. You have made an immeasurable difference in his life. (((Hugs))).

[loobylou]

(((Hugs))) I'm so sorry. I know you are hurting right now, but I hope you will feel ready to try again. I know it is not the same, but it's a bit like boyfriends, lots of them that you love don't stay forever, (and you are heartbroken), then finally the right one for you comes along.

[Erin K]

I'm so sorry to hear this. :(

[directmailscrapper]

Chris, I have a few thoughts.

First of all, you must know that you have made a difference in this child's life -- FOREVER. Even though he is just an infant, the fact that he has been loved and cared for -- even for a short time -- will matter -- forever.

This situation is exactly why we chose to adopt out of the country. At the time we adopted Emily, the state of Maryland gave either birth parent or any one of the 4 birth grandparents a FULL YEAR to change their minds, no matter what they had signed. I didn't think I could go through it. Emily is from the Republic of Georgia.

I feel your loss.

[ccstampin12]

So sorry, Chris.
I hope you can get through this all right!
HUGS

[mahodgman]

That really bites! I'm sorry.

[Patty]

Oh Chris, I'm sooo sorry. What can I say that hasn't already been said? I know it must hurt like crazy. Try to take comfort that you did make a difference in his little life and that will always matter. I'm sorry this hurts soooo bad. (((( ox))))

[shadoob]

So sorry Chris. But know that for a few months, he had someone who was there for him & cared for him. The system STINKS but you are a terrific person for doing this. The system needs more people like you & it would probably stink a little less!!! {{{hugs}}}

Suzi is absolutely right, but that doesn't take away the pain for you - or him when he needs to learn to not have you around.

You are a kind soul...I am so sorry.

[Spartymom]

Chris, so sorry to hear this. That baby is so sweet. Would you still get to see him, since he's a bit of a relative?

[Mrs. Fence]

Oh, NO! Hugs to you and your family and sweet baby. Like the others have said, you have made a difference in his life, and he in yours. I hope that things will work out.

[Patty]

Chris...how are you doing today? I been thinking about you.
