Married on 3.20.2004. It took 30 month, 2 failed adoptions and IVF for our first miracle. We have had 9 foster kids since he was born and started the domestic adoption process when he was 10 month old, we had 4 failed matches in that time. After our daughter was born we brought her home and spent 2 weeks fearing we might lose her because of complications that came up. But Praise God all went through and she is ours forever! Expecting again after IVF
What a great post! It's so true that this process can make you go a little nutso! I especially relate to the email checking. I'm hopelessly addicted to hearing the "bing" on my phone, praying each time that it will be something from our adoption lawyer!!
