You and T are wonderful parents and it seems that the whole process is taking so-o-o long. I wish I had great advice that would make you feel better. BUT....it will be better soon. You're approved, you have time to give Widget all your attention, and when you get that perfect little baby, you'll know it was worth the wait. I KNOW its hard to believe. I've been in the same spot as you. And if my aunt had written such a response as I just did, I'd think she was crazy! But have faith, enjoy W, cry when you want, hug T, and know that it WILL happen. I am so sorry you are going through this. Love, Aunt Dee Of course you are sad. You and T are wonderful parents and it seems that the whole process is taking so-o-o long.

I'm so with you on this. It's hard when you have such awesome contact, and then it goes away for a little while. It's hard not to wonder "What did I do? Did I say something wrong? Is it just too painful to be around us?" It's hard not to want to find a "cure all!" I'm right there with you on the open-ended stuff.

I am feeling some hope that adoption might be a path for us (found out last year that I cannot have children for the same reasons as you due to Whilm's Tumor) the only difference is I was 36 before anyone raised this as a concern...I know I should have asked sooner....anyway if you are willing to share the next adoption story with me who you are just "meeting" I would love to read it.

I have not reached out like this to other survivors before but last year found out I had Acute Ovarian Failure and was basically in early Menopause full of hot flashes and the works. I am still figuring it all out and really amazed that after 34 years effects of my cancer treatment are really coming to the surface. I too have dealt with depression. Thanks so much for sharing your story. I will be back to read more for sure. Wow I just googled “whilms tumor survivor blogs” and came to your blog.

Don't let it get you down. Use it as an excuse to do something daring. Pray, your worrying anyways, directing my worries into prayers has often brought me much peace. I hope that you are encouraged by something random in you life right now. dance in that rain. Don’t let it get you down. Use it as an excuse to do something daring.
