Another one bites the dust

Well, another adoption fell through. It didn't go as far as the one that failed last month. It went about as far as Keira's had gone. For a few weeks the chances of the adoption taking place had been about 90%. So we were really excited. But then a few problems have cropped up and the adoption won't be taking place. And I've known there were problems for about a month and that the chances of the placing happening were getting pretty slim. But I didn't realize how much hope I was harboring until a little bit ago when I was told that it's not going to happen. I was fairly sure it wouldn't happen, but like I said, I had more hope than I had realized. When I found out for sure that it fell through, my heart dropped more than I thought it would. I think maybe it hurts more because I'm still...how should I put this...trying to recover from the failed adoption last month, and so my heart is more sensitive at the moment. And I've got my sister's baby shower to go to tomorrow. I feel like I can't get a break right now.
