Adoption

Adoption "Sister" ????

When I was TTC, I visited the TTTC board A LOT!!! Someone on there took the time to get all of our information ( the ones that wanted to participate) and "pair" us up with another "sister" who was either in the same situation as us or had been in that situation. My "sister" & I got to know each other by email and now email everyday! Even though we have never met and she lives in Kentucky(I'm in Georgia), she is one of my dearest friends!!! She's gone on to have twins and I enjoy hearing about them growing up ( they will be 1 soon!) & she listens to my adoption journey ( that's just beginning!). I don't know if anyone on this board would be interested but I thought I would throw it out there. If anyone is interested, I'll be glad to set it all up ( although there might be someone on here that might be better at it or would like to do it and that's fine too!).

  • I'm all in!! We did this on a TTC board I was on a few years ago.

  • We did this a while back, but with all the new gals it makes sense to make new matches! I know her name is Nicole, but I can't remember her screen name.

  • I think it is a cool idea. Would anyone mind if I asked to be a part of it? I realize I am not in the same boat as most of you, but I love all you ladies dearly.

    Her name is NicB, and something tells me she still checks in on us now and then ;)  

    I think the difference between this and secret nesties is that the matches aren't secret in the "sister" arrangement.  We did this on the preemie board as well.  Some of the moms with older preemies were matched with newbies to help them through the journey.  I think this is the same concept , and it is a great idea.  I would love to participate.

    i love crystal's idea. i know the person i was paired with as a secret nestie rarely, if ever, posted so i never knew what was going on with her, or really who she was. i love sharing my experience (if you can't tell!) so this would be fun to do.

  • Hey girl! Long time no see!  Who was your tttc sister?  I'm glad to see you! How exciting you're adopting!

     

    I think it's a fabulous idea.

    Married on 3.20.2004. It took 30 month, 2 failed adoptions and IVF for our first miracle. We have had 9 foster kids since he was born and started the domestic adoption process when he was 10 month old, we had 4 failed matches in that time. After our daughter was born we brought her home and spent 2 weeks fearing we might lose her because of complications that came up. But Praise God all went through and she is ours forever!

  • Great! I'll post another message when I get to work to start collecting all of the information. 

     

    MayDayGirl - How are you? I remember you from TTTC board! My TTTC "Sister" was shoegirlit (Tabatha). She's amazing!!! :)

    I'd not mind at all!  Maybe you and I might be a good match, since I'm in an odd situation (we're getting our ducks in a row for IUI, while trying to save up the $$$ for adoption - the way the program we want works, we'd get a quick match, and it's best to go in being in a position to pay 20k in pretty short order) myself.

  • i am into it as well. 

    But.. i'm hoping everyone that enters to be matched will really get into it. My match for a secret nestie fizzled because she rarely posts, i wish i could have learned more about her. 

  • Well our situation is not much like anybody's here but I always wanted a sister lol- so I'm in if you'll have me Smile I think it would be great to have someone there for support that you can exchange emails and just be totally honest with.
  • OOH...different than secret nesties, my bad! I LOVE this idea!! Count me in!

  • Great idea! I'm in too. :)
  • I'll consider it. I had a TTTC sister and it lasted maybe a couple of weeks. I never heard from her again after that.
  • This is a great idea.  Count me in!

    My "secret nestie" didn't work out either :(

  • I edited my sign up post and added a note to possibly help with people signing up and then not following thru. I'm sure there will still be a few who do this, & if so, we can re-match people if you would like.
