Hi. I am glad I found your post. I am also from Wisconsin. My husband and I are hoping to adopt. We completed our homestudy in March of 2003. We are now just waiting. I hope that it happens soon. I sometimes feel depressed because three of my girlfriends are pregnant. I feel out of the loop. Whenever we get together, all they talk about is their pregnancies, and ultrasounds and how they are going to decorate their nurseries. They never consider my feelings. It also doesn't help that I am a pediatric nurse. I am surrounded by babies and children all day. We just had a bad experience with a birthmother, and sometimes I feel we will never be choosen to love a baby. I guess I was just wondering if you could give me any information on how to be patient. My husband is wonderful about the whole thing. Sometimes it is just nice to hear from someone else. I was also wondering if your son was an agency match, or something else. Any words of wisdom from you would be great!
