Getting rejected hurts. You want to understand why, and you want to be understood by the person who rejected you.

Unfortunately, that kind of closure is usually impossible. You cannot force another person to regard you the way you want to be regarded. Once a care provider has given notice of termination, you're better off putting your energy into moving on. After all, the harder you push back, the more bad feelings they'll have toward you--you don't want to twist somebody's arm until they agree to care for your child! That'd be a terrible situation for your child to be in.
