Adoption

And not picked again

At what point do you begin to question if something is truly wrong with your profile?? I mean, we are with 6 agencies who all say our profile is great, but we've been shown and not selected 19 times!

What the @#*^?!

(sorry, just needed to vent)

Re: And not picked again

  • (( Hugs )) I'm sorry.  I would assume if they all said your profile is good then it must be okay, I'd think at least one would say something if it wasn't.  I'm sorry, vent away, I hope you get that call and are picked very soon.

  • Rejection sucks. We haven't been shown as often as you, but otherwise we are in the same boat. I'm sorry.

    ::Hugs:: Is there any way to speak with your agencies and ask if there is something different that you could do, or anything they could recommend ? Because that does seem odd to me.

    I'd like to ditto this. That seems odd.

    ((huge hugs)) I can't imagine how disappointing that would be.

  • Sorry to hear that!  Are you allowed to advertise independently in your state?  With paying an agency, you shouldn't "have to" but I know a lot of girls who did and some got their matches outside of their agency.  Thoughts are with you, hoping you get *the match* very soon!

  • I'm so sorry, Lafayette.  :-(

  • Hugs sent your way! I can't imagine what you are going through. I am going to tell you exactly what I wouldn't want to hear, and what you probably don't want to hear either, but YOUR baby WILL find you. Keep the faith, and I know you will be picked for the perfect situation and the perfect baby :)

  • We were rejected over 60 times. It sucks, but when it's the right match and the right kiddo you'll forget about all the maybe's before.

    TTC since May 2006. After 3 failed Clomid cycles, 2 failed Injectibles/IUIs, 2 failed IVFs and 1 failed FET, we moved on to adoption!

    Last ditch FET resulted in BFP, and identical twin girls!

  • I do think profiles are important in certain situations.  Have you seen yours next to the others at the agency? 

     If you want a discerning eye, I am happy to look at it... .I am also happy to send you ours that was professionally done.  (We finally gave up and paid a pro to do it since we had such a long journey.)

  • Hugs. I have no advice, but I hope 20 is the one and comes soon.
  • I can't yet imagine how frustrating it must be but I am sure your profile really is great and that soon you'll bring home your child.

  • Hugs! That would be so very frustrating! One reason I am glad our agency didn't tell us when we were being shown. I don't think I could have dealt with it. I'm so sorry you are having to deal with this!

  • Hugs. It's so hard :
    Married on 3.20.2004. It took 30 month, 2 failed adoptions and IVF for our first miracle. We have had 9 foster kids since he was born and started the domestic adoption process when he was 10 month old, we had 4 failed matches in that time. After our daughter was born we brought her home and spent 2 weeks fearing we might lose her because of complications that came up. But Praise God all went through and she is ours forever!

  • I would hate knowing how often I was being shown also. I am sure your profile is great. I hope your match happens for you soon.

  • The user and all related content has been deleted.
  • I'm so sorry.  I hope the next one works out.  Have you asked your agencies for specific feedback?  Can they pass on any comments that expectant moms have made about your profile?  Maybe your agencies inundate the EMs with too many profiles? 

    Our profile hasn't even been shown yet.  Do you mind sharing which agencies you're working with?
