It was right after one of our long term placements had returned to her birth family and I was grieving and didn't feel ready and I said no. A day later, I called back and told them that if they still hadn't found a home for the girls, we would take them but they already had. So weird because I still think about them and wonder "what if?" even though there were a few other times we said no and never gave it a second thought. I know how you are feeling right now but that call will come for kids who are a good fit for all of you.Sharlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986104124394505985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23828843.post-75691239766887211572008-12-05T18:29:00.000-06:002008-12-05T18:29:00.000-06:00I know it's hard.

I have always wondered about them. However, at the time, A.J. was almost 4 as well. It would have been like having triplets!! I hope they find a really good home for them.Sheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04946129852495881105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23828843.post-26376455175063052562008-12-05T13:37:00.000-06:002008-12-05T13:37:00.000-06:00ouch!
