It sounds like you already know this, but be prepared for a big mix of emotions when the baby is actually born. We were so overjoyed to have our baby boy, but at the same time my heart was breaking for his birthfamily and the loss they were experiencing.
That is sooooooo true!!! We were ECSTATIC when our DD was born, but oh, I cried for her birthfamily! That's the price of love--the joy and the pain. I think that if your heart isn't touched to one degree or another by the pain the birthmom/family is going through, you aren't really in tune with adoption and you need to wake up. Maybe that's being too strong, but really--adoption isn't just taking a baby from someone else and running off to live my own happy little life! There's losses and gains, and we have to be in tune with both. COMPASSION is hugely needed!!!
OK, I'll get off my soap box. :)
