We've just been dropped from the adoption process, after having a favourable initial interview in our house, three days of preparation course, and a feedback interview.
The SWs have totally misinterpreted things we said, and some manager - who has never met us - has decided we should 'put our adoption on hold', for an indefinite period.
It raises more questions than I can possibly articulate here, but has this happened to anyone else? Did they ever start the process again?
I have asked the SW to put all their objections, plus a timeframe for reapplying (if that's what they really mean) in a letter, but as none of them have ever answered a phonecall, voicemail message, or email in the past eight months, I'm not holding my breath.
I think the real reason is they don't have any young, white children, and this is one way of weeding us out, but if that's the case, why not say so at the very beginning? It's such a waste of their resources, and our time. And very distressing.
