Lou...both of our adoptions were done very close to each other like yours. Brayden came home in August 06 and we started Layna's process in Feb. 07. Towards the end of Layna's process, I had similar feelings. I just wanted to be done with the waiting and emotional roller coaster that is adoption. The wait for PINK was so hard!!! I had expected it to come on a Thursday, and when it didn't, the thought of getting through Friday, Saturday and Sunday was unbearable.

When we started the process for Layna, I thought I would do better since we had been through it before and we had hit some bumps in the road with Brayden. So, I was ready for anything. I agree with some other posters...it doesn't get any easier. It doesn't matter what stage of the wait you are in...it is hard to know that your child is so far away!

On the plus...we did make it through and you will too. You just have to find all the strength that you can even though you feel exhausted. I will continue to pray for your family.
