We decided yesterday that it was time for us to move on with the adoption. So, we'll pick up and start over, and try to find another match.
Meredith tried to call the birthmother Sunday night just to hear from her, but she was still refusing to talk to Meredith. It's so sad...
We're still committed to an open adoption. We still think it's the best thing for the child. I guess it's fairly common for people to move to a closed or international adoption after a failed open adoption, but we're going to stick with it. Although I certainly have a new appreciation for why people decide to go with international adoption.
I swear, the next time I hear someone say something along the lines of "why don't you just adopt?", I will come unglued.

GOOD LUCK. Our best wishes and thoughts are with you guys! - the Leckmans
PS - I think you are free to kneecap anybody who drops comments like "why don't you just adopt?" casually.
