The best advise I can give is to have faith. You need to believe in your heart that this is the way things are meant to be. Your child IS out there. When the timing is right, it will come to pass.
Let me just give you a quick glimpse of what happened to us. We already had a 6 year old bio son. He was conceived through IVF. We had tried another IVF cycle for baby # 2. It didn't work.
We were contemplating just having an only child. But I knew in my heart that I wanted a second child. So I started to heavily look into international adoption.
My husband always wanted to adopt domestically. But I didn't believe that domestic adoption was even a remote possibility for us (too expensive, years of waiting, etc).
Boy was I wrong! A friend of a friend referred us to a facillitator in California. She only dealt with open domestic adoption. She was also less expensive than an agency or attorney. Plus this friend just recently adopted a beautiful baby through her. So we decided to give her a call.
From the time we sent our birthmother letter to the time we brought our daughter home was 2 months. My daughter is a healthy blue eyed, blonde haired beauty. She is now 18 months old. She is the light of our lives. I can't imagine life without her.
As a matter of fact, my daughter is standing by my side with a funny joker type hat on her head. She is shaking her head to make the bells ring. She is hysterically laughing and having a good ole time. Ahhhhhhhhh....life is beautiful!
KEEP THE FAITH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
