Thinking of You...

It seem that over the course of the last month or so, not only has their been a baby boom in the adoption blogger world, but there's also been a trend of failed adoptions. There have been several of my blogger friends that have recently gone through one. And it just breaks my heart. But somehow, they have all remained strong, kept their head high, and kept right along. And when it happens, there's nothing that you can say to make it better. I think anyone in the IF community knows that there usually aren't any words. All you can do is tell them that you're thinking and praying for them. And that you're there to cry to, if needed. It sucks to see someone hurting.

And it also scares me. Of course, with adoption, there's always the chance of these things happening. But seeing it happen, first hand to people you "know", it's terrifying. I know that without risks, there are no rewards. And I will continue down this path that we are going. I will try to remain cautious once chosen, but I'm also not naive. I know that when it happens, I will fall head over heels in love. And just have to hope to God that he has chosent that baby to be mine!

Anyway, this has been something that's been on my mind for awhile now. And after hearing about another failed adoption today, I felt the need to get it off of my chest. On our adoption front, still no papers. I'm about to email my social worker and check to see when he mailed them back to the agency. Still holding out hope that we can celebrate our paper pregnancy this weekend. Guess we'll see!

To the ladies who are dealing with this right now, you all have so many people who care about you, and who are thinking about you. And I won't try to say anything to fix it, because that's impossible. So I'm sending lots of hugs your way!
