It's official

in Adoption
Last week my husband and I made the official decision to stop TTC and pursue adoption. It wasn't an easy decision to make but we are confident in our choice.

We are most likely going to pursue domestic infant adoption through an agency but are keeping an open mind to other options as well. We decided to take the rest of the year to relax and not make any big commitments yet. We are also planning a move around Feb-March of next year and do not wish to start our home study until after we move. For now we are just getting used to not TTC, researching our options, and saving as much money as possible.

I've really enjoyed hanging around this board and am looking forward to spending more time here.

Started TTC July 2012. Missed m/c & d&c 9/12 11w. Natural m/c 1/13 6w. Chemical pgs 3/13 & 8/13 around 4w. Currently TTA while saving for adoption.

    Welcome! I think it's wise to take things slow and research all you options. There are things I would have done differently in the beginning. We're at peace with everything now, but a thinking things through and planning things out a little better at the beginning would have made a few things a little easier on us.

    This is great!  Obviously it's difficult to move on from TTC to adoption or any other path you choose, but from my personal experience I did start feeling peace and excitement as we moved along the adoption path.

    Good luck to you!

    we are until forever...

    Welcome.  We also took some time and said goodbye to TTC. We are just moving forward with a DIA.  It took some time and a lot of discussion, but we are finally at peace with it.  Good luck with your journey, I hope it's a short one.
