I have been lurking/occasionally posting for sometime now and thought I would introduce myself.
My husband and I are just wrapping up our homestudy for foster-to-adopt in our state. We have had a crazy IF journey, that isn't quite yet over. Our RE informed us that while we are going to try another IVF (only because it's already paid for and we bought a package deal), he doesn't have hope for our success. I am getting my tubes taken out on Thursday so obviously there will be no more TTC for us. We have seen this coming since my 5th m/c in November so we decided it was time to start our family through adoption.
I am just learning about everything foster and adoption related and we have already attended foster parent training in our state (PRIDE). We are very excited to get involved in possibly fostering a sibling group, and hopefully one day we will be matched with a sibling group that will become our family. In the mean time I am just excited to have kids in my life and be able to help families that really need it.
I welcome any advice you have with regards to foster care or foster-to-adopt. I look forward to learning about all of you and celebrating success as we start or complete our families!
Re: Hello ladies!
You know I love you Kelin!
And you're especially on my heart as you take these next steps in surgery and IVF.
But I am SO excited that there will be kids in your life soon! I look forward to where this foster/adopt journey takes you!

Awwww, thanks Miss Swanck-y! You know I love ya! MWAH!! I will respond to your Facebook message as soon as I can. And you will likely get random crazy messages from me while drugged up after surgery. I am sure you won't mind.
Won't mind at all!
Let me know if there's anything I can do to help post-surgery.
