Tinley sat on the front porch steps, bathing in the amethyst light of early evening, cigarette dangling lazily from her left hand. She hadn't smoked in five years, but under the circumstances, it seemed like the least destructive option. She had seriously considered dragging all of the nursery furniture to the curb for the garbage truck to collect

What a terrible situation - everyone loses :( The way you show the couple's relationship through the little details is well-done.

This is so sad. I've heard about cases like this, and it's suuuuper sad that things like that can happen. I don't know much about adoption contracts, so I'm wondering if you can have all the legal documents signed ahead of time. Not sure about that. Very well written entry.

So sad, to have hopes and dreams, then have them shattered. A distressing story.

Such a disappointment for the couple but there is always that chance with using a surrogate.
