CyCy is gone.
The decision was very hard to make. When we began this journey really because of my need to fulfill a lifelong dream to adopt . But we settled on fostering. The age range we wanted to serve was rare. Because most people usually already have children and want the child that is coming to their home to be younger than their own.
We really thought CyCy was the perfect child for us. She was kind, helpful, loving, not to mention she took the transition well. There were things we looked over due to her past and limitations but we poured into her as much as she allowed us to.
Around the time of her birthday we noticed a change. I think fun time was over and she really missed home and with no contact from her family it just got hard. But we stuck it out for as long as we possibly could. But sometimes you have to really listen to kids and their wants. I couldnt imagine growing up one way with certain expectations and being thrown in another situation with someone telling me what my new norm is.
We hope that she finds happiness and a family to meet all of her needs.
