kinda freakin' out....

Tiffany946Tiffany946
in Adoption

I'm not sure what to do....  So, we should have our home study approved by July 1st.  We are just waiting for our state child line clearances to come back.  Everything has been going soooo smoothly, until today....

 

My AF is like clock-work.  I never miss a cycle.  After counting my days this past weekend, I realized that I was 10 days late!  I POAS this morning and it was POSITIVE!!!  mmmmm, I haven't taken prenatals, been drinking a few beers here and there, and have mentally prepared to never become pregnant, ever.  And now when we are so excited about adoption, we're pregnant. 

We've been down this road 4 times now, and we are not counting on anything, so we wont' mention anything to our social worker until we are in the clear.  But I'm just so overwhelmed....

 Has anyone gotten pregnant during the adoption process and still continued to adopt?

    Congratulations and hopefully this one sticks.  I wouldn't be worried about drinking a few beers or not being on prenatal, but now that you do know, start taking them and stop drinking.  If I were in your shoes, I would continue with the path you are heading and like you said, until you are in the clear, no need to mention anything to your social worker at this time.  Wishing you all the best.

    Congratulations!  I pray this is a healthy, full term pregnancy for you. 

    I agree with pp- keep going down the adoption road for now.  By the time your homestudy is approved you will be past the time frame of your previous miscarriages, right?  At that point you can re-evaluate your plan.  

     I would be freaking out if I were you too, but just take it one step at a time. Keep us updated!

    This happened to me one month after I matched with my son. My husband and I decided that we would tell bm/agency only after 12wk to let her make the decision on whether or not tpo cpntinue the match. This is good advice as I ended up miscarrying 6wk later. try not to freak out... Often things work out as they should-- I ended up conceiving nearly two months after my son was Lnorn and although I know itc will be hard, everything just feels right...

    Congrats!

    I completely agree with all of the advice given above.  But I would definitely be freaking out too!  Just take it one day at a time- things will work out!

    I read your post when this came on and wanted to let you know...that I am also in the same situation.  We just did our homestudy today and low and behold tonight got a positive pregnancy test. Its been over a year since we got pregant.  We didn't use the pillow, preseed, nothing and it happened.  How are you handling things?  We also have miscarried the past two times we got pregnant and the last was ectopic.  I currently only have 1-2 day periods and am concerned I don't have enough lining.  Im happy but also freaking out like you.  Please pm or email me at heaven22tw@yahoo.com
    After three miscarriages and one ectopic pregnancy we are currently pursuing adoption. " Born not from our flesh, but born in our heart. You were longed for and wanted and loved from the start."
