Just wondering for those of you who have adopted locally, are currently trying to adopt locally and for those of you who are doing ICA.

Before you got approved were you nervous / scared / worried / or even just felt that you might not get approved?

Is it something that you just have to deal with worrying about until you do get approved and can then give a sigh of relief.

I've tried so many things on this journey to become a mother and I feel every time I get close something happens and I'm left with a shattered dream and have to start again with something else, so I'm very nervouse / worried about approval and feel 90% sure that we wont get approved. I kind of know its a silly worry but I cant stop myself from thinking about it and so I figured there must be others out there who did also worry or who are still worrying about the same thing as me.

So I'm just wondering how everyone else coped or dealt with it as I've been told by so many people, all of who have never adopted and have never had to try so much to become a parent, that there is nothing to worry about and no reason why we wouldnt get approved, but that still soesnt do anything to make me stop worrying.
