Our youngest daughter and her husband are trying to adopt. They can offer their child a loving family, supportive extended family, and a settled and secure lifestyle. They both adore children and children are drawn to them. The baby will have a little cousin just his or her age to grow up with. Nevertheless, they have yet to be chosen by a birth mother. It has been a difficult process.
Recently they have been talking to a woman named Stephanie Murray who lives in Indianapolis and gave them information about a baby she is due to have in May. Nancy and Ryan had sent her a check for rent and were getting set to go back to meet her this weekend. Our two families were letting themselves start to get excited. The agency had supposedly vetted the young woman and all was going to be just fine.
Today they found out that the woman has been far less than truthful with them and that she has engaged in very questionable behavior before. The cashier's check they had sent to help with rent has been stopped and the trip plans cancelled. They now have an airline credit.
They will be fine, but it will be hard for them to trust the next birth mother who contacts them. Two very trusting young people are that much closer to becoming cynics. I just hope the next person they talk to is perfect for them and realizes what a treasure they are.

What did the birth mother do to make the couple change their mind? Would be good to know so others can look out for it.
