What would YOU say?
With this latest frustration, Chris asked me what I would say to someone who was thinking of adopting. At the moment, we have been trying to adopt a baby for over 2 years and we are currently 0 for 2. We are in the middle of two different adoptions, China and Ethiopia, one that is still quite far off and the other we have no idea where we stand. If I could go back in time 2 years, would I change the path that we now find ourselves on? I don't think I would. Through all of this, we still believe that this is the rough road that we are meant to be on. Would I recommend this to a friend? Possibly, but I would tell them to expect the worst, don't plan on anything happening in the timeline that you are given and you better be extremely patient and flexible. This is, by far, the most difficult thing that we have ever done!

Hi! Just found your blog! We are in process, too, and we also live in Colorado! I look forward to following your journey!
you know, just last night i finished the book you recommended at the beginning of the blog ("there is no me without you")....and after reading it and hearing your heart-wrenching stories with sophonias coupled with your excitement-turned-pseudo frustration with yonas....i would most definitely support someone with adopting. not EVERYONE adopts. you and chris are the statistical minority. not everyone could handle what you two are experiencing -- you are enduring all this to help a country with an overwhelming number of orphaned children (over 4 million). hang in there.
