WOW! This has been a wild ride already. Actually an emotional ride! I was told by my sister-n-law that the adoption process is much more emotional than being pregnant and now I completely understand what she meant by that statement. It is 10 times harder and 10 times more emotional than being pregnant. For those of you that are reading this and have gone through the process of pregnancy you know what it is to carry a child inside of you for 9 months. The frequent bathroom visits for multiple reasons, the back aches, the extra weight gain, the stretch marks, the hormones that are raging out of control, and the list goes on. You now share your body with a new life. I have experienced that wonderful miracle 2 times and I have to tell you, not having that little life within me, breaks my heart. I can't protect the life of my child, I don't have any control. Not knowing where my child sleeps tonight and not knowing who is holding her while I type this makes me swell up with tears. I long to hold her, to comfort her, to tell her mommy loves her, but I can't. So I wait...

Thank you for writing the truth...those I have never experienced pregancy with a natural birth child, my natural adopted child took much longer and was more painful due to the lack of control and the emotional rollercoaster that occurs...you got it right!
