Hi Fellow Ohio People!
I'm Cindy from Ravenna, we have lived here 3 years. Before that we lived in the Youngstown area.
I have one bio-son, age 7. We were adopting a little girl from Guatemala, but our adoption fell through on Dec. 18 after being a year in the process. Camille is 10 1/2 months old.
I know there are lots of others on here from our area~~13 of us got together for lunch in December and it was great time! I am looking forward to doing it again sometime in the future!

Another Massillon mom here. I am Mindy and have been married for almost 6 years to my hubby Kris. We have one Bio son, Alec, who is four, and should be leaving this week to pick up our daughter, Mikayla, who just turned 7 months old, from Guatemala. I think I know most of the Guatemalan Local Mommy's but maybe not! We need to get a playgroup started!

I am from Norton which is outside Akron. We are in process for a domestic adoption. We had an adoption fall through in January so we are back in the waiting game. -Lisa

[vegangoddess]

some one once told me that if a situation falls through it wasnt meant to be your baby...yours is still out there..... which never made me feel any better....UNTIL we were matched and brought home our baby....and we knew this was the one that was meant to be...... so lisa, i hope your wait isnt long......... keep us posted.

Hello All! My husband and I are in Copley, a suburb of Akron. We are waiting for final approval for domestic adoption. Actually just talked to the agency today and we should be having our final approval meeting within the next week or two. Then I guess the real waiting begins.
