I should have just remodelled the bathroom

I'm sure many of you know, International Adoption has its ups and downs, and really isn't for the faint of heart. However, today, all I can think of is, I should have used the money we've spent and just remodelled the bathroom.

It's with an extremely heavy heart that I have to announce that the baby we were promised was taken away from us. I got the call tonite. It is an extremely long story, but the crux of it is that the province the baby came from has had a 'past.' The US government has said that corruption was happening in this province. While it has yet to truly be proven, the US government has been on a witch hunt of sorts with this province. Our baby was one of the last that was to come out of this area, and then our adoption agency was no longer going to be working with this province.

Since this province has been so scrutinized, and for other reasons, our adoption agency has decided to pull our referral to spare us the pain of possibly losing our baby when we travelled to adopt her.

We have some options, and I will post those later on. For now, I just need to be sad.
