Adopting a child is one of the most grueling processes and it can take a year, if you are lucky. Once you have made the decision to adopt and you fill out the relevant forms the excitement is almost uncontrollable. You start imagining your life with a precious one by your side. Your life begins to circle around the thought of your new addition. As the excitement builds you start looking forward to the day more and more and your life starts snowballing towards that point. The problem is, there is no certain date and you have to wait and wait and wait.
Often there will be bumps in the road that crush excitement and make you negative about the process. After a mother has put her baby up for adoption, she has 60 days after birth where she can change her mind. Agencies usually have a policy that states parents looking to adopt will only be notified after those 60 days. Some agencies don't do this and it can lead to broken hearts if a biological mother changes her mind and the baby has already been living with the adoptive parents for a few weeks.
Often the wait, once the initial excitement has dies down, can be excruciating. you know that your little angel is on its way but you have no idea when. Seeing children playing and hearing them laugh can be agonising and innocent comments by other people can hurt more than anyone can imagine. But, when that day finally does come, every agonising moment and every speck of pain will all be worth it. The over whelming relief and happiness will flood your life with joy and your life will change forever. Keeping holding on, your prefect day is coming.
