Let me feed her.

I'm going to love her.

Trying to call her by like the name that we had picked out for her and all this stuff.

And I'm just not.

feeling it.

Like, you know, you think about like what people say when they have a baby and like the connection.

And even if it's not your baby, like you have that kind of instant connection between the two of you.

And I remember like holding this baby and feeding this baby and being like, I just don't, I really want this to work out, but I just don't feel anything for this baby.

And I don't know why that was, but it just wasn't there.

And we have her for like four or five hours before the mom calls us and says, I want the baby back.

That's her right.

She hasn't signed the paperwork yet.

The paperwork's not going to be signed for another two days because different states have different times that the mother has to decide on whether or not she's going to keep the baby.

So she technically still has two more days.

So we give the baby back.

And then she doesn't show up for the parental right termination.

And we kind of knew it.

We kind of knew when we came back the next day and her mood had shifted that she was not following through.

She was not going to follow through.

And even so, I was like, I don't feel like this is my baby anyway.
