Anyone else have crazy/bad adoption dreams while waiting? I have been having terrible dreams almost every night for the past few weeks, and all are adoption related. I have dreamed about everything from interrupted placements, to taking placements of babies that are terminal, and every crazy/morbid situation in between. I think I am just preoccupied, as last week marks the one year anniversary of signing with our agency.
Am I going crazy, or is it common to have these kinds of dreams while waiting?
Re: Disturbing Adoption Dreams
All the time honey. All the time. And mine are specific since I'm in a match--- expectnat parent changes mind, expectant grandparents fight in court, expectant not-baby's parent at all but EP's partner makes EP change mind...you name it, I've had it.
My therapist is helpful... also, chocolate.
I always have strange dreams, so have been adoption specific but I can't remember them now and honestly, my dreams are usually never good ones, unlike my DH who says he always has great dreams. I am so active in my dreams that I feel like I don't get a good night sleep. Perhaps it is preparing me for motherhood.

While I remember, last nights dream had to do with me not shaving my legs properly when showing up at the hospital to meet the baby.
Mother of two wonderful boys! Blessed through adoption.
LOVE this!
Oh my goodness! This story totally gave me the chills! :-)
I have had dreams like that too, from time to time. Wow, that's is amazing!
