Last year, we finally finalized the adoption of our baby girl and went to pick her up after 10 agonizing months (Not counting the year we were in the process before she was born). For those who have adopted, you know what an incredible roller coaster ride this is. We had many more "snags" than the average couple, and I learned more about myself than I ever thought possible. I won't go into the horror stories that we faced, I will only say that it ended in being the singlemost joy of my life. Celeste is now 19 months-old, and I truly forget that I didn't give birth to her. She fits into our family and our lives in a way I never dreamed of. I found that being a firsttime mom at 38, is incredible. I'm so glad I waited for this and experienced some problems because I would never have appreciated her as much if I hadn't. Now for the resolution...I would love to adopt again and bring another baby home from Guatemala. We only have a year to get paper-ready before Guatemala may close to international adoption. What I need is money to support this venture. I am working two or three part-time jobs online as well as a fulltime job because I don't want to take out a loan to do this. Help me to be a mom again.
