Adoption

Back to couple #1

I met with couple #2, and I didn't like them as much as couple #1, so I think I may talk with Couple #1 a bit more, see if I want to match with them.... Would a second meeting be inappropriate if I haven't officially matched with them yet...? I really don't want them to get their hopes up if I decide to go with a different couple, but at the same time I want to get to know them a little better

Re: Back to couple #1

  • I think they should understand that you need time and information to make your decision, but maybe you can let the agency tell them that so that you don't have to? We would have been fine if a EP wanted to meet us again before deciding on a match. That way they will know that headed into the second meeting. Good luck!

  • I thought couple #1 was trying to move in with you?  And there were complications with her native american heritage?  What is happening with those issues?

  • I agree with the others that as long as your honest about where you are in the process, they'd be more than happy to meet with you again. Granted it will probably get their hopes up, but I feel like that happens a lot throughout this process and potential APs know this and understand the uncertainty. You need to feel comfortable in your decisions so if you feel like there's more you want to know about the couple then ask to spend more time with them.

  • There hopes are already up :)  it's part of the journey. 
    Don't worry so much about them... you need to do what feels right for you.

  • I think it will be fine as long as you are upfront that you haven't made an official decision yet.

    GL!
