It made so much sense to get started now, but cannot. I just let these things bother me too much I guess? We are so ready to adopt, but I am not sure if I can handle the new ups and downs that come with the whole process. I guess the best is to keep looking forwrd. Do you know if agencies have that same "rule"? I should call and check. If so, why bother paying for the seminar, application... I am so frustrated. We, our doctor and counsellor all feel we are ready. Arghhh.

It is a rollercoaster that is for sure. But I have NEVER heard of such a thing as making you wait after a miscarriage. OUr agency sure didn't. We were through our homestudy visits and nearly approved when the anniversary of our miscarriage in 2001 came around.
I sure hope you can get started...
