It was paralyzing at times. Even now, it is hard to believe it is over and she is ours for good.<BR/><BR/>Shandi,<BR/>I was afraid the process would bore people. But I knew you would understand. We feel lucky to have Enya-Maria in our lives. <BR/><BR/>Miss Bliss, Enya-Maria says thank you. It just sounds like ga-ga-go.<BR/><BR/>Kristy,<BR/>We probably would have done it again, but it is doubtful that Guatemalan adoptions will continue after Jan. 1st. But you are right about the negative side fading quickly.<BR/><BR/>Thanks Steve, You aren't old, just seasoned.<BR/><BR/>Lights,<BR/>We are adjusting very well. I am getting a kick out of being a stay at home dad (at least for a couple of weeks) and getting to know my daughter's personality. She has a great sense of humor. She also has a great appetite. The cats are still a bit puzzled at the whole thing, though.Timehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07838683246636045823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861874.post-42575006277624165332007-09-10T14:44:00.000-07:002007-09-10T14:44:00.000-07:00How are you guys adjusting to life with baby?How are you guys adjusting to life with baby?Lights in the wakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00389500985838246988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861874.post-43654166862233306842007-09-10T13:42:00.000-07:002007-09-10T13:42:00.000-07:00Knowing my luck when I get to final hurdle they wi...Knowing my luck when I get to final hurdle they will say "I'm sorry sir, You are over the age limit."<BR/><BR/>At least ya can breath easier mate!Whitesnakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07681488364720396274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861874.post-64319057792113179572007-09-10T09:14:00.000-07:002007-09-10T09:14:00.000-07:00But I wouldn't be surprised if within a couple of ...But I wouldn't be surprised if within a couple of years you are thinking of doing it all over again.

Reading just how difficult it was makes me feel that much more respect and admiration for you and Tess. You truly are wonderful people and Enya-Maria is a very lucky girl to be in the hands of parents who love her so deeply. I hate to say this, but I think that aquiring children for some people should involve a little more of what you and Tess experienced. For so many, it takes no effort to bring them into this world and even less effort to raise them. I wish all children were as wanted as your Enya-Maria. <BR/><BR/>New photos perhaps? :-)Naughti Biscottihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11954505278010003963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861874.post-10515638562224331092007-09-10T00:59:00.000-07:002007-09-10T00:59:00.000-07:00I found myself holding my breath while reading you...I found myself holding my breath while reading your post Tim. With every new hoop you were required to jump through I imagined what you and Tess must have gone through, how you must have been panic stricken that something would go wrong. <BR/><BR/>What a wonderful happy ending for all 3 of you and one you thoroughly deserve.
