HA!!!!! NO WAY!!!! I don't think it ever really gets 'better' as far as the wait. Whether you adopt once or whatever, NO.
I thought the next time around (with Cristian) I'd have it "all under control"...yeah right!
Actually I think it was worse at times b/c I DID have an idea of at least what to expect~whereas with Connor, i didn't even find this site until 1/2 way thru his process; so I had no one to compare notes with...completely & totally naive to the whole adoption process. So sometimes just the knowing intensifies the wait, I think!
I'm sure I'll be that way again in future adoptions. I'll say I won't be, but you watch, lol...
