I can definitely understand how you feel...I've been there myself. When we were completing our second adoption from Guatemala, I was actually pregnant TWICE during the process...and they say lightning doesn't strike twice! I found out that I was pg the first time just three days after we received the referral of our daughter. When I had a miscarriage, I was devastated and sure that that would never happen again for me. Knowing that I had my baby in Guatemala to look forward to was a great help. Then at the end of the next month (when our daughter was about halfway through the process), I discovered that I was pg again (after 10 years of marriage and no pregnancies prior to this). I was shocked and really didn't believe that it would "work" that time. I got wonderful prenatal care, but only my husband and a couple of others knew our "secret." Lo and behold, I was about 14 weeks pg when we traveled to GT to bring our daughter home. I was diagnosed "high risk" shortly after we returned from Guatemala, so I was very happy that I'd been able to travel. However, I was so afraid of the outcome that I didn't tell others that I was pg until I was 5 months along and wearing maternity clothes. I know someone was watching over us! My son was born prematurely due to PPROM and a complete placenta previa. ALL of my children are now healthy and happy and doing GREAT! It took a lot of faith, but I have three wonderful children now...be happy no matter what happens for you~Karen, mommy to Benjamin & Christiana from Guatemala and to Bryan
