First piece of advice I could give:
I will second the opinions about not allowing your heart to over-rule the sensibility of the situation. In other words, don't promise something you're not sure you can do; and don't automatically accept a situation that might have more serious challenges than you initially expected to take. Bottom line: Don't let your heart SOLEY rule your judgements.
Second piece of advice I received that really helped, was hearing our adoption attorney tell us, "You know....you'll get a baby.....it's just a matter of WHEN...not IF."
And this has played in my heart and head so many times. Easy to get discouraged by the wait......and agencies/attorneys/facilitators LOVE to make you think that they can get your baby for you---right away---if you'll ONLY pay them big monies up front.
Truth is.......if you can do the wait time....there IS a baby out there for you. I've come to firmly believe that.......
Sincerely,
Linny
