We are matched and waiting for potential birth mom to deliver. She is due christmas. Everywhere I turn i keep hearing about failed adoptions.
I am getting really worried. I try to have a postive attude and not think of the negative. but it is so hard.

I know this is a hard time. For me the closer it got the more stressed and paranoid I became. Do something out of the ordinary for yourself. I know it might be hard this time of year but you need to relax. Try to keep your expectations to a minimum (easier said than done) and things might quiet down in your head a bit. Good luck in your journey.

I know exactly how you feel and agree with Denice, take some time out for yourself, you only have a week to go.
Good luck!!!

Worrying wont change it..

I worried with two matches and they decided to parent...

I worried with one match and we took that baby home andhe is pure heaven!!

See, it does not help to worry!! lol


Yes, it does happen.....but adoptions also work.


I hope this one works for you

I know that know matter how many people tell you to relax, you won't. Every adoption is a risk. But what a reward you get in return! Our first adoption was so smooth, I could not believe how easy it was. Our second has been quite a struggle but I know that every passing day is another day I get to spend with my angels. I will pray that all will work out for you. God has a plan and what a blessing a little girl will be for Christmas.

Good luck and God Bless!

I wasn't able to guard my heart well. I worried. We had one failed match, then one perfect one.

All I could do was stay BUSY! At least this time of year, while making it harder to wait through the holidays, might keep you busier.

And just keep coming here - every single day if you need to, to get support.

We've been there. It's hard. It's even harder to make it easy on ourselves!!!

My advice is stay busy and pray, probably what you're already doing! I'll add my prayers for you!

thank you for the responses. All I do is pray and try to keep busy. We have had a failed adoption before we adopted our son.with this adoption we are adopting from the same mom. It does not get any easier adopting for a 2nd time with the same mom as if it was a different mom.
