DO NOT CALL
It just puts you in the position to be guilt tripped into taking the child back. There is no benefit from calling, all it does is put them back in the position of power.
They need to accept the consequences of their actions. They were full aware of what they were doing when you told them mere hours before you could not do pick up.
I've only ever terminated care once. They asked me to reconsider but I said no. They pushed me to edge and I terminated even unexpectedly to me! Lol. I would not have reconsidered because it shows that you are willing to negotiate the most serious decision you can make and they will test you on everything after that. Plus, IMO, it would just be awkward and the relationship would never be the same.
I was going to say what lee bee did. Don't call or text or communicate with them. They don't need any more words from u and u owe them nothing. They don't need to know why u ended care it was all in the letter. Move on and cut them lose. U don't owe her anything or more of an explanation. U don't have to explain ur reason u did when u wrote the letter.
The kindness and support from everyone is so greatly appreciated:)
I haven't heard from them yet, so I will assume they got that I am done. I called one of my families that on my wait list, and they are going to start on Monday. It is a family of 2 siblings 13 months girl and her sister who will be after school only and is in the same class with my other after school child (I had her a year ago before younger daughter was born).
So it is basically is a perfect swap.
That's great news. Good for you for going through with it.
