I'm always still in trouble again

It's not just the money - we can manage that --- but are we forcing a door open that God has closed twice? That's my biggest prayer concern.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Apparently, she has violated some principles of the child welfare / adoption process (I can't remember the legal term) but it equates to "dangling a child out there for adoption" in bad faith.
Again, my biggest concern is that we could WIN this, but it may not be what God wants for us. It's so hard to know when you're emotionally involved and so much in love with an actual human child.
My "Go to" prayer for this ---- "God, you know what a blockhead I can be --- please make this so incredibly clear that even I can't get it wrong".The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

I'm reminded of the story of a guy whose house is flooded, and he needs rescuing - but he turns down the raft, boat, and helicopter which offer rescue because he's relying on God to rescue him - then gets mad at God when he shows up at the pearly gates because God didn't rescue him.
Enter the Church and wash away your sins. For here there is a hospital and not a court of law. Do not be ashamed to enter the Church; be ashamed when you sin, but not when you repent. – St. John Chrysostom

I do wonder if it is really God closing the door. To me, it seems to be not in the nature of God to show a person in need and then prevent someone from helping. I can't come up with an example of that happening in the Bible.
Of course, I'm not closely involved so I don't know the details.
