Well, just wanted to say bye to everyone. I can't be on here anymore. Our baby was born on Thursday. We drove 13 hrs and made it for the birth. It was amazing and I took care of our baby girl Eve for 24 hrs. To make a long story short, since our bir…
Yummy thin mints =) Those are my favs!
I agree, Adrienne- you stick to your guns. It's definitely your decision and your BM. I think it's respectful to her. I know for my family, they unintentionally see our birthmom as a "threat" even though I talk…
Julia-
Michigan. Yea! Crazy, but I figure it will be a great time for hubby and I to chill and not have to worry about work, keeping up the house, etc. and spend some awesome time with our baby! Our BM was having contractions tonight! I was slightly…
Lynn & Kara Jane--
Yes it sure is bag packing time! I actually packed some of our baby bag back during Christmas because I'm a teacher and knew once school started again days would fly. I felt silly then but sure am glad I did. Here it is already Ma…

Amen to that Valerie!
Yahoo Adrienne!! Glad things are still on for you =) Oh the ups and downs of adoption....
We are less that two weeks out from our expectant mom's due date, who we've been matched with since November. Can't believe it's already…
Hi there! My husband and I are in our ninth month of waiting for our baby. We are hopeful and anxiously awaiting the connection with our birthmom and the birth of our baby!

It was hard to deal at first. I think we definitely had to go through all the stages of grieving- each one is difficult. My personal opinion is that you have to LET yourself feel all the emotions, no matter how hard they are, and how much your heart aches. I think a week or so after our loss I started putting together a flyer and made contact cards, and starting driving around and posting them on public bulletins. It gave me something to do, and was a reminder that we would eventually bring home OUR child. I think the scrapbook is a wonderful idea. It sounds like something that will for sure help you start to heal. Message me anytime you need. <3
Oh Nicole, I haven't even met you and my heart is hurting for you...my husband and i went through a failed adoption 2 months ago...i've never felt so empty and lost, nothing could ever prepare a person for that emotion. I just wanted you to know how sorry I am....One thing I realize through this whole journey is that it has brought me so much closer to my husband...no one in your life will ever realize the extent of what you have been through but him...hold on to that and eachother....thinking of you!
I am so, so sorry for your loss. We went through pretty much the exact same thing last March. We had our own room at the hospital and the baby stayed with us the entire first night and day. The social worker came to talk to bm and everything was looking good- bm was getting ready to leave the hospital. A few hours later we got a call that she changed her mind. We didn't have the baby with us at the time so we didn't get to say goodbye either. My heart breaks for you. I won't try tell you how it will get better- I know you're in too much pain right now. But if you ever want to talk, I'm here. Prayers to you and your husband.
Thinking of you both and praying that God gives you the strength that you need to heal!! I am so very sorry for what happened!! Just keep praying that, that little girl is taken care of!! Cause that was a huge mistake!!!
