We had her file for ten days, which is way longer than the 72 hours that most families have to review files... We are lucky.
However, after looking through the paperwork and having the files reviewed by a physician and a nurse (thank you both very much!!), we have come to the conclusion that the little girl we were referred is not right for our family. She has some very disconcerting medical issues that we are not sure we are capable of handling at this time. We have notified our agency and removed some special needs from our list. I feel bad for this little girl and hope that she finds a great family in the very near future.
It was a somber weekend, but we are feeling confident in our decision. Hopefully, we wont be waiting too long before we get another referral. Its a shame that we can't adopt all of the children who need good, loving homes.
