Adoption

Annnnnd I'm going bonkers

As of Monday we finished our 6th and final home study interview. All our stuff has been turned in, our profile books are currently being distributed to the 4 different agency sites, our final personal reference was turned in (not by our original person), and we're just waiting for the head SW of our program to approve our home study report.

It feel SO good to have all our stuff finally done after 6.5 months of this constant paperwork, interviews, and classes.

I just want our freaking approval so I can move on to the next basket-case stage of the game in the "waiting pool." Wink

    Is that amount of time typical for a HS?  Our agency says our home study will take about 8 weeks.  Why did it take 6.5 months?  I hoping it does not take us that long!   

    7/18/12-1st RE appointment CD2 blood work taken. Told to move straight to IVF. Starting BC pills and FSH injections plus Lupron. Hopefully doing ET in September Off BCP March 2011 Started TTC July 2011 7 months TTC with no luck an then.... Diagnosed 2/24/12 with 2 Ovarian Cysts. 3/22/12-Lap to remove cysts, look for endo, and see if tubes are clear. 3/22/12-Diagnosed with Severe Endo(tubes are clear). 4/4/12-Post op OBGYN appointment. Told chances of conceiving naturally are very low, but told conceiving in the next few months is our best chance due to being cleaned out during Lap. Referred to a RE. RE said IVF is our only chance to get pregnant. Told only a 20% chance even with two put in. 9/5-Lupron 9/20 Stims(Menopur & Follistim) 9/30 Trigger time 10/2 ER 10/3 fert report-out of 7 eggs retrieved only 2 fertilized. Hello "Thing 1 and Thing 2!" Kinda sad there is none to freeze. Because only 2 we will have 2DT to get them back into a natural envionment 10/4 ET. Found out that only 1 divided. We love you "Thing 2." Thing 1 is now snuggled inside me and we are praying it will be our take home baby! **Did not even make it to my beta, the day before on 10/16/12 I got my F'in period** Such a stab in the heart. Nov 2012-Moving onto domestic newborn adoption! Can't wait for my take home baby. We will try IVF again after 1-2 years of a clear head. Need a break from infertility treatments/issues for my mental sanity! image
  • Congrats, now the real roller coaster begins.  GL.

  • Yeah for you! I am quickly learning that it is good to celebrate each step in this... since it is such a lengthy trying process!

    I got a money order today so I could get a copy of my birth certificate for phase II of my homestudy. (Who the heck requires money orders these days???) Yeah me! :)

     I don't believe so. We had 6 different interview sessions and a ton of other educational things, etc that doesn't seem to always be the norm on here. The interview portion of it only took 3 months.
