I know how hard it is. We went through a few close matches ourselves and they were torture. They were like losing the child you never had over and over again. I still think about each of them. But you've seen so many success stories as well. Don't give up hope. Your day will come. I know this sounds like something that can't be done but try to take a few days off from thinking about the adoption. Close the nursery door and spend some time with your husband. You may already do this. I only accomplished it once and it was at my worst point in the adoption. I finally just stopped thinking about it for a few days. Really helped renew my spirits.
I know you mentioned once before about redoing your profile and your agency said no, can you talk with them again to see if there is anything else you can do? What do they say about your wait?
Don't lose hope. Perhaps this was just a message to you to not give up. Go ahead and get that puppy and enjoy it while you wait for your baby to come home. It would be a good distraction :)
Please, please keep the faith! You've waited even longer than us as hard is that is to believe, but your time WILL come and when it does it will be so worth it! I KNOW, KNOW, KNOW, that it's hard to believe right now - in the midst of it, but it's the truth!
"But these things I plan won't happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, be patient! For it will surely take place. It will not be late by a single day." Habakkuk 2:3
My name is Pep and I am married to a wonderful, wonderful man, BT. For 7+ years we've enjoyed the perks of marriage and have walked a long journey toward bringing a child into our home through adoption! We're from Western New York where we enjoy the 4 amazing seasons God has created. BT works in the media as a writer, producing new casts. I am a child day care director, truly the most rewarding job on earth.
As a wife, daughter, sister, aunt, niece, partner, boss, caretaker, bookkeeper, etc...I love life and enjoy the people around me. We believe God is the author of our lives and it's in Him we place our trust believing all things work for the good to those who love God. We are sinners, saved by God's grace.

It WILL happen! Don't give up hope. Have you considered applying to multiple agencies? Get yourself out there to more expectant mothers.

I'm praying for you both.
