Figured to start a new one for the new year.
Can't believe it's 2012 already. Hopefully everyone searching for their forever children finds them this year and we all can celebrate 2013 with them in our arms! Until then let's support each other in this thread! I'll start, I'm searching for a sibling set/group. I know they are out there and won't stop searching until I find them. |

Waiting
We have been waiting since June of 2009. We had one failed placement, one failed transition and more matches/near-matches than I counted- maybe 6?
Hoping 2012 is our year. A spring kiddo would be great- right before summer vacation. I'd take the rest of the school year off and have all of the summer. ![]() DS is 4 and we are open to infant through age 3. We are working in our domestic infant program as well as searching through foster-adopt situations. Hoping & Praying...

Still waiting as well. We went live in March 2010, so we have officially been waiting 21 months. We are super open, so the long wait has been very frustrating. We are moving in March so if we don't have a placement by then, we start over in a new state. Here is hoping a little one comes to us (and everyone) soon.

This is our year!!!
My family just went through an ugly failed match (scam). We are back on the waiting list and updating our homestudy.
Last night, after midnight, we prayed and prayed that his year would be our year for our baby. Good luck to everyone during this rollarcoaster ride!!!

I guess we can start joining the waiting list a lil early , we are planning to start doing home studies this month. Siblings- open, race - open , age - under 5 preferred
Ps since we joined the forum last month you people scare me I mean that with as much love and respect as it can be said with but the months and years and years that you all have had to wait scares me I hope we are strong enough to deal with the delays and disappointments. |
