I will be the first...

Hi, this is Pam living near Twinsburgh Ohio, currently trying to adopt from Nepal. Fingerprints were done this week and now waiting on I171H. Would love to hear from others going through this process.:hippie:

Another Massillon mom here. I am Mindy and have been married for almost 6 years to my hubby Kris. We have one Bio son, Alec, who is four, and should be leaving this week to pick up our daughter, Mikayla, who just turned 7 months old, from Guatemala. I think I know most of the Guatemalan Local Mommy's but maybe not! We need to get a playgroup started!Hugs

Hello,We are from Twinsburg also and we are waiting on our PINK slip to go pick up our little girl from Guatemala.I was just at the Target in Macedonia this weekend and saw a cute little Guatemalan baby boy in there. I wanted to go say something to them so bad but I didn't want to be "one of those people"... if I had my little girl with me then I would have felt better approaching them.Take care and good luck to everyone!-Jim

Hello I am also a Buckeye! I live near the Youngstown area. I am an adoptee, who was born in Youngstown. It would be nice to hear from more Buckeyes in this area!

Hi there!!! We're also from the Youngstown area (suburbs). We've got two children adopted from Russia in 2004 and we just brought our baby girl home from Guatemala this past December.

Hello! We're in Canton and adopting our daughter from Ethiopia! :)

We're in Akron from time to time visiting friends/shopping. Actually, the friends we visit have a five year old boy that they adopted from Vietnam. We're from Cambridge, so just down 77.

Hello, i am from Massillon also and have adopted twice domestically, I am currently part of a multicultural play group in cleveland.....but would LOVE to get one started here......there are quite a few of us!!!!!! donna:dance: :dance:

I am from Norton which is outside Akron. We are in process for a domestic adoption. We had an adoption fall through in January so we are back in the waiting game. -Lisa

some one once told me that if a situation falls through it wasnt meant to be your baby...yours is still out there..... which never made me feel any better....UNTIL we were matched and brought home our baby....and we knew this was the one that was meant to be...... so lisa, i hope your wait isnt long......... keep us posted.

thank you - I am believing in that!
