Adoption

Introduction:

Hi..I have been lurking for just a few days. I want to introduce myself. DH and I are both 39. We are going through IF treatments now. However, DH has low testosterone, low FSH, low LH and Low Prolactin resulting in: many tests to rule out a tumor (all negative thank God)..so now he is on HCG shots for a last ditch effort to kick the testicles into gear...

That being said, After one year of trying without the option of IUI and IVF (no ejaculate)...We are leaning toward adoption.

I have been lurking to find out where to begin..I am totally overwhelmed and have no idea what the first step is so I am going to lurk and find out..

Thanks

The ladies here are very knowledgeable about all aspects of adoption, and someone is likely in the same place as you are in their adoption journey. We get "where to begin" questions a lot, and are always happy to answer with personal experiences.
