Adoption

Hi! I'm new! :)

Hi all...bhead told me to head over here from GP on TN!  :)

My husband and I were trying to get pregnant for almost 2 years.  We are not adopting because we CAN'T get pregnant, but I think that in the back of our minds, we really want to adopt.  It was always something we talked about and said.  I think it was one of those things that may be meant to be.

We talked about it this weekend and we are going to start the process!   I'm nervous..about the time, money and heart that will be put into it.

We are going to our first domestic informational meeting tomorrow night.  I am filled with joy that we are SO doing the right thing.

I'll take any advice you can give me...I'll take anything!  I hope to be a support for others, too!  :) 

It's time. Adoption saving and process started in November 2012.

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

    I am pretty early in the process and have only met with/signed on with one agency which is Angel Adoptions in Cary.  https://www.angeladoptioninc.com/

     They have been very nice so far and have a 98% matching rate within 12 months(they work with a lower amount of clients than most agencies).  They also seem a bit more affordable then most of the places around here.

    Good luck tomorrow!
