Tentative intro

kimmyb1020

Hi there! As you can see from my sig, my husband and I have been going through fertility struggles for 2 years and I think we are reaching the point where we are just done. We met with one adoption agency last week and are really just dipping our toes in the adoption world to see what feels like a good fit. I know that I won't have much if anything to add to the discussion, but I do appreciate the opportunity to learn from you ladies and your journeys.

Welcome! This board is great for info and support! Although we didn't deal with MFI, I have PCOS too, so I am familiar with that journey.

Welcome! I had a pretty slow start too, it took us going to an informational meeting, sitting down for a one-on-one interview, and A LOT of talking between DH and I before I finally dove into the adoption process like I was the infertility treatments.  It really did feel like I was giving a lot up and I was hesitent, but now I finally feel like this is what I was suppose to be doing.  We are also working with an agency (vs a facilitator or attorney) so feel free to ask if you have any questions!

Hi, and welcome!

It's totally okay not to know what your next steps should be.  This is a great place to gather information that will help you decide if adoption is the right path for you and your family.  As you learn more, you'll likely have specific questions, so feel free to ask away when they come to you.  In the meantime, be good to yourself, and just take it one day at a time!

Welcome to the board!! I'm so sorry for your struggles, there are many here that are in all parts of the adoption journey - I'm also at the very beginning but I've learned so much and have really enjoyed participating
