If they knew how violated you feel with all of the procedures...then you have to be "okayed" by so many people, including family, friends, clergy...just to get in this crazy world of waiting!!

Don't forget the massive amount of quetzals we need to come up with an fork over.
Yes, we are quite an odd (in a very special way) lot, aren't we? Who else would go through
all of this for a child(ren)? Good grief - no wonder my mother doesn't "get it" because she has never had to go through any of this.
I dare not think about all of it in one neural synapse - flames would be shooting out my ears.
Being pregnant and delivering a child seems a heck of a lot easier - but I have no interest in being pregnant. My heart is in Guat.
And you are absolutely right - agencies and social workers should recognize we are strong, yet fragile at the same time.
