Need to read first, just thought the word choice was amusing

Congratulations to the newest Abrazo family!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lit one for Arbazo's PIWs - may their intended children quickly find the way to their forever families.

Congratulations to the happy new family!!!!!!!!!!!

Hhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmm . . . that IS a very interesting question, and I am curious to see the answer . . . (and I'm sure timing has something to do with it . . . )

I wish you could "refresh" your candle or something . . . I remembered the other day that mine was going to go out, but when I went and tried to click on it, it wouldn't change. Needless to say, I forgot to go back a few hours later. I guess I should have just lit a whole new one then . . .going to do it now. . .

Good grief! THat is one I hadn't heard, but it is up there with some other doozies!! How terribly rude and insensitive!

Ok - now that a few people have paved the way for me, I see how this works. Very neat idea. A virtual perpetual flame, and a candle light ceremony we can app participate in, regardless of our location (or the weather).

Yes, so glad they turn to such a reputable agency for the children who need their help. May this little one find a wonderful family soon.

Congratulations to the newest families celebrating the addition of boys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS on the birth of baby Brennan to his ENTIRE family!

Sorry for the way it turned out. Hoping he'll come around soon, for everyone's benefit!

Oh, how exciting! What a whirlwind!! Congratulations Joe and Kim!!!!!!!

Hhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmm is right. And I find that even more odd because what you posted wasn't anything incorrect or negative or "out there". Who's moderating THAT site I wonder and why are they against having truthful information about adoption on their site.

Heidi, the same thoughts crossed my mind. . .

Jenny, thanks for sharing your insights and experience. Your post was very touching. I also think you are right on when you said: I was thinking about that same thing just recently. A conversation had me thinking back to our fertility treatments and one time when my husband had to travel for a few days during my injections and I had to give them to myself. After about a half hour of reading and rereading the instructions, psyching myself up, etc, I plunged in the needle . . . and then so glad that I had done it, pulled it right back out without waiting the required few seconds and to my absolute horror, as I looked down, there came that medicine right back out. I about lost it. I was SO upset. I could hadly speak to Jim when he called that night, I was a blubbering mess and so emotional and just certain that my mistake was going to cost us yet another cycle. . . Well, we ended our treatments soon after. But just remembering that intense feeling of "this HAS to work" and putting so much into the process, we did lose touch a bit with the why. When we became PIW and were "expecting" it was so different - we could actually think about being PARENTS, not just getting pregnant - which had been our focus for far too long. And yes, it seems too simple after all that stuff we went through, but it is true - when you put all that mess behind you you can see the happy ending to quest to be parents. I'm just thinking "ADOPT...you'll be so happy and all your parenting dreams will be here". But everyone has to reach that conclusion in their own time.
