How to request another adoption with one pending already?

[+sapien]

Hi there, I'm hoping someone out there knows an easy fix to my situation. 

 

Currently I have one adoption "pending".  ie. I received an "adopter" email from a cache owner who wants me to adopt their cache.  But at this time, I don't want to adopt that cache yet. 

 

In the meantime, I also want to send out an adoption email to another original cache owner so I can adopt their cache.  However whenever I go to the https://www.geocaching.com/adopt/ webpage, I'm "stuck" at that first adoption pending page.  Is there any way for me to get around it so I can send out the request to the 2nd cache owner without breaking the 1st one?

 

Thanks.

Why not?

You can accept the adoption and send a message to the reviewer stating any reason to delay the "ownership" or simply Disable the cache until you can solve any impediment.

Many reviewers do not use the Message Center, and even if a CO sent an email to the correct Reviewer, that Reviewer may not remember the email when looking at a cache page where there were issues.  It's always better to post updates as logs to the cache page.

I wanted to officially find the cache (and do a health check on it) first before I adopt it which is not possible at this time.

 

I'm not sure what the reviewers have to do with this adoption.  So far they haven't gotten involved.
