KK,

I've been following your thread and am sending my prayers and good thoughts your way. I can totally appreciate your concerns. Also when you spoke about re-organizing the baby room it brought tears to my eyes. We had a failed placement last winter after parenting a son for 5 wks. About 3 mos later we had a fast match, BUT the tpr drags on for 9 wks. So all that time we were loving our 2nd child fearing another failure. My heart was a MESS.

First as excited as we were about the birth of the 2nd baby, it was very hard to clear up the nursery and prepare for a new baby. Then the tpr dragging on was the worst.

We had lots of love and support from so many. But nothing took the fear away. How can it? Once a person has had such a hard loss, you can't help but be that much more cautious/concerned.

All I can say is as bumpy as our 2nd match was it all worked out in the end. TPR is over (we are surging forward to finalization) and the knowledge that the 10 wk old baby boy soundly sleeping in the next room is OURS!

I pray that you've been through the worst and now this is the best!!! (((hugs)))
