Welcome Marc and Missy. It is nice to see people responding. I thought it would be nice to get this forum going for guys to come and vent. I sometimes think that the guys just like to lurk in the background and not get involved. I do think it's better to get involved, ask your questions, vent your frustrations and just know that there are other's out there that are going through the same thing.

Missy, it was so sad about your uncle. He really meant a great deal to the university and to the people of Ann Arbor. As far as rooting for football team...I have no opinion other that when they fill the Big House with 117, 000 screaming fans it makes for a busy day and night for those of us in emergency services.

I do agree that these forums are a great resource for anyone involved in adoption. You can and I literally have spent hours pouring over posts trying to learn, understand and empathize with everyone's side of the adoption triad. I'm hoping it will make me a better person and father.
