Pity Party

Today has been a really rough day.

Four families from our agency with babies younger than GB are out of PGN. I am happy for them of course.

But I feel so hopeless, helpless, and doomed.

Why me? Why can’t one fucking thing go smoothly?

I take that back: the close on the house in MUCDTR seems to be going quite smoothly. Unfortunately, they still don’t have funding for my job.

Hey Art,

Sorry for the rough day. Thinking of you & Pili.

Hang in there AS! Good things come around, and you’ve helped out some great Guatemama’s today!

But I can TOTALLY relate. We just want our babies home. Is that so wrong???

((hugs))

hi,
i read in one of your posts that you wonder about who all the lurkers are out there, and so i thought i would tell you a little about myself so that you could know why i am here.

i am a bisexual woman who was in a relationship with a woman 7 years ago when she was about to adopt a baby from guatemala. we both went down to guatemala city and met the beautiful baby boy–a spectacular boy by any measure. we loved him, but we did not stay together. i knew him well, however, until he died of cancer two years ago. i can only say that whatever you are going through now, whatever doubts you may have, my experience with adopting a guatebaby tells me that it is worth every single moment of worry.

now i am in a new relationship, and i am having a baby with a donor egg. so it’s another try at the same pursuit of love and family. i wish you well and am happy to read your blog.
