Lets call this child "M". I saw a profile picture of M about two months ago. Haven't got M out of my head since. Thought of 100 ways that we could make this work. My husband doesn't love that, but is warming up to the idea.
M is 5 and bi-racial. I had hoped that was why M was on the list, but things are never as simple as I want them to be. I have a feeling we won't be a good match for M but am looking into it regardless ( because I have to know). Adopting out of birth order may not work for us. I know very little about M-none of M's history just what they post on the website (age, likes, simple stuff). Adoption is many things-simple is never one of them.
I'm sad that this child may not become apart of our family but sadder wondering if/when he will become a part of any family. I'm sad that M has experienced such a trauma (whatever that may be).
Update: got word that it is a no go for us. thought i'd feel relived but really just cried.
