But adoption is an experience that your whole family is a part of. I think we all have the responsibility to spread the word to others and advocate for the precious ones who are still desperately waiting for a family.Gretchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14423770936344845558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2101811857671451169.post-9826413035477714822009-09-28T06:28:54.817-07:002009-09-28T06:28:54.817-07:00Amy,

My hubby and I have been discussing giving up. We have been waiting 3 years for our girl and have been trying to switch to NSN. Our agency just joined in June and it hasn't gotten any better. They haven't gotten referred children since July and they are having trouble access the "main" list. I am so fustrated, but my heart breaks when I think about walking away from my girl, our dream. I just can't take anymore heartache. <br />You have given me inspiration. I will be calling your agency recommendation today. We felt stuck, and I feel like I have been dragged through it all (we tried switching to another agency before and were told we were not allowed). <br />Your family is so beautiful. We have 3 kids of our own. They can't understand why there little sister isn't here yet. Hopefully finding your agency and your supporting words will change our situation.<br />Thank you! Thank you!
