Hi Trace

We also went through Procare. Eloise and Sunette are wonderful and made the whole waiting process so much easier. You are welcome to ask any questions if you like. Also don't be scared to contact them when you are worried about something. I texted Sunette so often that I thought she was going to tell me to bugger off, but she just kept encouraging me. I will recommend Procare to anyone.

It is so exciting! I am so happy for you (and of course for the stunning baby you will be getting). You will need loads of support through the 60 day waiting period, so warn your friends! It is not a nice period! But the reward is so HUGE!

All the best... time flies quicker than you think!

Welcome Joyce (and Trace)! I have a friend who have a five-year-old adopted daughter and they are currently waiting to hear about baby nr. 2. Have no idea who they are working through.

Welcome Joyce.

Im currently going through the process with PROCARE agency. It seems so far away till its over, but i know that it could also be a short time as well.

What agency did you use?

So glad to hear you bonded quickly, im hoping to say the same one day! :cheer:

FAITH MAKES THINGS POSSIBLE, NOT EASY!

Welcome Joyce.

Thanks so much for sharing. So many of us are so fearful of adoption mainly because we lack information.

It is so special that you bonded so quickly with your baby. There are a few of us that have birthed our children and can't say the same.

I hope people see this thread and start asking questions.

I have a letter from my pdoc to say I am insane, so tread lightly with me, some days I can be a total bitch. I'm lying. Most days I am a total bitch.

I abhor smiley face icons. Just saying.

Great...!! I would really like people to know that adoption is in now way less rewarding than giving birth to a baby and for us the bond was instant... so cool.
