omg, omg, omg!!!! How frustrating for you who cared so much about the life you were carrying for them for this to turn into an issue about $$. Prayers for you that all will turn out well in the end.
I don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but in some cases, cashing a check with "final payment" written on it constitutes your agreement to that. If you haven't cashed it yet, I wouldn't. I would require them to resubmit a check to you without that on it.
I'm so sorry they've betrayed you like this. Unreal.
Wow. Just wow. I am so sorry you are going through this. I hope it all gets resolved and you get what you originally agreed to. It is just unbelievable.
I hope that this works out very quickly. You have given them an irreplaceable, wonderful gift, and it's like they are expecting you to do this not only out of the goodness of your heart but to pay for it also! Not cool.
So sorry that it went down like this. You are an amazing and inspiring woman and momma.
Hope it all works out for you...I wouldn't have cashed the check either. Hope you get to feeling better...after that labor the last thing you need is the added stress.
