I'm also single and adopting. I have a 10 yr old bio son, so requested a girl. I always wanted more than one child. While my son is the world to me, the thought of an only child just seemed so lonely. With no potential husband on the horizon and time ticking, I decided to pursue my dream of having another child, this time by adopting. I originally looked into China, knowing I wanted a girl & figuring that would be a logical place to adopt from. Their wait is so long for singles, that my agency suggested Guatemala. I'm so glad they did.

If you've been following the boards, I was the one who received a referral last week and asked about low birth weight. I'm still awaiting blood work results & the doctor's medical report to forward to an IA doc before making a decision. The wait for the info is making me crazy. I find myself already getting attached to the little peanut!

My dossier is currently in DC at the Guat embassy and should be ready to forward to Guat around the end of the month.
