Seeing announcements of SWIs being finished, of DNA samples being taken and coming back 99.987% matched, of joyous OUTs, of PAs arriving, of pink dates being set, even KOs because they meant someone was in PGN and going through the system.

I hope the adoption process from Guatemala can start up again soon.

OMG I was just thinking the same thing... how much these boards have changed . I loved reading all of those posts as well. Here's hoping that things will start moving along.

I am so with you! I really miss the dancing bananas and bands playing etc. I keep looking for OUTS. Those always make me re-live that amazing moment of our out.

Me too! I was thinking the other day how I missed seeing referral pictures posted here.

YES! And update pictures, and visit trip pictures...Sigh. I want more of those myself, to post here!!

It's like you read my mind. I have been thinking the same thing for a couple of days now. Hoping that Guatemala can workout all of its issues so all those beautiful children can find their FOREVER FAMILIES!!!

Now that you mentioned it YES....I do too miss hearing those. Praying that it will indeed open up real soon too.

I only stop by every so often, but everytime I do I think the same thing! Its not the same!

Oh, totally!! I long for those days again...and hope they aren't too far away.

Agree with you 100% - probably why I was able to break away for 10 days without feeling too much anguish. Seriously, reading about all the first-times just makes my heart swell.

I miss pictures of new babies finding families and the excitement of "young" love.
If I was younger, I'd adopt more as soon as the program opens up again.

I have thought the same thing several times over the past few months. Remember how awesome it was when someone posted their referral for the first time and how we were able to walk through their process with them. Now good news only comes around rarely. I still love sharing in everyones good news...I just wish there was more of it!!

I also love seeing the posts about our children that our home and celebrating our successes on that end of our lives as well...potty training, sleeping well, not fighting with siblings, etc.!!
