Hi all,

Well today sees me sitting here at my pc again!! looking for info on adoption from Guatemala. I have had a wonderful week I attended 4 family gatherings full of babies and never flinched once!! I was able to google over all the babies knowing I was going to be a mom. I cant tell (and Im sure I dont need to tell you guys!) how it feels after 6 years of ttc what it feels like to finally have the end in sight, I know international adoption is not the easiest road to walk but compared to ttc with fertility treatment and the knowledge it may never work this is such a relief.

I have been researching agencies like crazy and my question is has anyone worked with Adopt International I have sent an enquiry off to them.

If folk could pm me that would be great, I spend a lot of time looking at this board and my favorites are the picture posts they have really helped my family fall in love with Guatemalan children I have 2 sets of Grandparents who just cant wait!

I don't know anything about that agency. But I wanted to tell you good luck in your journey. I agree, after dealing with infertility, it's almost a relief to make this wonderful decision.

Use this forum for support. Along the way the wait can get long and frustrating. We are here for you.

God Bless You!

I also dont know about that agency, but I agree with you 100% about the relief of adopting after TTC. I tried IVF for 4 years, from which I lost 2 pregnancies at 8 weeks and had a couple early implantation failures (chemical pg). I just miscarried recently and I was so broken, I felt awful about myself, my body, my place in the family...but when I asked my husband about the adoption and he said ok, i was elated...I have felt like this was meant to be and so happy about how this is turning out. I can walk down a baby isle at the store now and not feel out of place, sad or ashamed...I even looked at diapers yesterday...for no real reason, I just wanted to. I can smile at babies and enjoy all these happy baby stories without feeling like I am not part of that world.

I just cant wait to get my baby home...I was 5 of em LOL
