It will happen!!!!
I haven't posted in quite a while but I was just reading the thread about spending Christmas in Guatemala with little ones! I'm sitting at my desk crying because it just brought all of those feelings back. I want to tell everyone in the process that it DOES end and it almost seems like it was another life when all of the pain of the process was happening. I want to tell you to be strong and believe!
 Today I was in work in my sitter called to tell me that Braeden wouldn't stop laughing. She put him on the phone and he was giggling like a maniac! These are the things that bring joy to my day now!! Megan (Braeden's Mommy!!)

Thank you so much for posting. I need to be reminded (daily!) that my baby will come home and this will be a distant memory.
I will tell you one thing, after the experience of adopting I will always have a special place in my heart for anyone that is going through this process. There is a shared bond amongst all of us.

Megan,
Thank you so much for supporting and encouraging the rest of us. Right now, it does seem like this will never actually be over. I have lost all excitement for the actual process itself (although not getting our baby!), so it really helps to hear that this will all go away eventually and we can get back to living our lives. Thanks, Cindy waiting for Camille
