I, too, want a baby girl. I have twin 16 year old boys and always wanted a little girl to complete our family. We, too, looked into foreign adoption but couldn't stay out of the country for the length of time that was required. I still wake up in the middle of the night crying. Others tell me that longing for a child will go away over time.....Well like I said it has been 16 years and is still as painful as it originally was. My family has been doing foster care and that has helped a bit. I will continue to pray for that special little girl to fall into our laps and cry at night from the pain that she didn't come that day. I know how you feel. I hope that you have better luck than I and your dream comes true. Your blog sounds so much like my story. I, too, want a baby girl.

We have two sons who we adopted domestically (both born locally) with two different agencies. We are eagerly awaiting our third match. We have had excellent experiences with our first two adoptions, however I am kind of white knuckling this third one (can a third adoption really go without a hitch?). Look forward to tuning into you. Adrienne,

I was looking at our newly adopted 7 month old son and day dreaming about a bigger family. When my husband got home from work I asked him how many kids he thought that we could handle. He then said, "I don't think that we can handle the two that we have!" Oh well! Time will tell. Adrienne,
