There has been news of a potential referral. Don't get excited yet, it will be weeks before we know any of the details or if the child is actually eligible for international adoption. I'm just happy that after months of waiting, I feel like the next step in the adoption process could happen in the foreseeable future.
While I continue my quest for more and more information on the adoption process in general, I stumbled across a link to an article about birthparents. The article is written by a mother who adopted from Guatemala, but the emotions and situations could happen anywhere. It is a very thought provoking article and worth reading.

The article and also many comments are thought provoking but yet sad. An Adoption must be ALL ABOUT THE CHILD! It is NOT a guilt trip about the world's ills or pangs of the "birth/or proper PC term/mother". You can not cure the causes of a child's availability, you can only attempt to bring love and hope to a child's life. And you can not steal what you can not own. A child is a gift you cherish then pass out into the world as their own person after too short a time of sacrifice and joy.
