I had 4 biological children before adopting, and I experienced the same sequence of emotions that you described - including the intense guilt. I think I truly underestimated the bonding that takes place when you carry a baby and those first few to several months (years)with that child. But, we're learning, we're growing, and pray I will be better equipped if (I really think WHEN) God leads us to adopt again!Joe & Sarah McDanielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18215428069373633981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4647836844269802942.post-23589462490596214322010-09-19T07:43:15.184-05:002010-09-19T07:43:15.184-05:00I love this post!

But...it can turn into the fairy tale for sure!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4647836844269802942.post-40462108459846089012010-09-19T06:59:47.852-05:002010-09-19T06:59:47.852-05:00Oops!

I too had my "game face" on, but am not sure that I could have been prepared. <br /><br />We are taking things one day, one step at a time and trying to embrace today. <br /><br />Thanks for being vulnerable!<br /><br />I am going to add myself as a follower!<br /><br />Hope you get TA soon!La Dolce Vita: The Sweet Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02134856047094222465noreply@blogger.com
