The best adoption advice I ever followed I actually gave myself.
We followed the domestic adoption road to our son. 4 months before he was born we had a painful failed placement. We had a newborn in our arms and lives 30 min. after he was born. 5 wks later, after spending Christmas a New Years with him, his bparents changed their minds. We were devestated, and for a moment considered giving up all together.
I looked at my dh and said, "NO... the ONLY way we'll never be parents is if we give up... so that is NOT an option". We went forward and 3 months later brought home John (now 17 mos).
