I have not started yet, tho I do have the journal and have wanted to start for some time. It's difficult to start when you don't know for sure which child you will have... Even now with our daughter, I am fully aware (tho often in denial) that something could still happen and it could fall through at the last minute.
I can't speak to how an adopted child would feel (and you'd probably have to title your thread a bit differently if you wanted them to reply) but I think honesty is always best.
I plan to tell our daughter about the little one we first selected who we didn't get. I do believe and I plan to present it that although I didn't know it at the time, that was not the baby God had selected for our family, so it didn't happen. As for the children I turned down for various reasons, again - they weren't my daughter. Even when I was considering them and trying to decide if it was the right child, God knew it wasn't my child and gave me signs that I was supposed to keep looking.
So, I kept looking and finally found my daughter!
