Newbie TTC

Hi y'all :)

A little about me: I'm a newbie to the boards TTC with endo. I'm 24, in graduate school full-time, just resigned from my former job in marketing (b/c of school demands), and while DH and I are currently TTC, we are also very pro-adoption as well and know that regardless of sucessfully TTC or not, we will absolutely adopt someday - I have 2 adopted (from China, after my parents did charity work at their orphanage) sisters who I am head-over-heals in love with. Their adoptions were nothing short of a miracle! Oldest of four very close sisters in all, and I'm also the auntie of 6, soon to be 7! I love kids, dogs, running, warm weather, and nice people. And all things pumpkin-flavored. ;) 

So anyway....hello! Hope everyone is having a great week & looking forward to a wonderful upcoming holiday season!

    Welcome and GL! We TTC'd for 3+ years, and finalized DD's adoption last month.

    Hi I am Tracy. I mis-carried in March. So I am  old / new. DH and I are TTC. I now know not to tell anyone you are preggers until you hit the 3 month mark. Hope everyone is getting ready for Turkey day!

    Thank you to you both for the welcome :)

    Dr. Loretta - I love your quote in your signature!!! My feelings about my sister's adoptions exactly. 

    One of my biggest worries in TTC (and why my DH & I are keeping it private) is that I worry that if we can't, and later adopt, that my future adoptive children will worry they were 'plan B' so to speak...when in actuality, they are & always have been 'plan A' for me, regardless of getting married/pregnant/having bio kids/etc, I have known since I was very young that I wanted to adopt. My DH & I just don't meet many marriage and age requirements at the moment.

    If you don't treat them as Plan B, they will never feel like Plan B. I hate the "Adopt and you'll get pregnant" comment specifically because it makes it sound like adoption was our fall-back option, when it was simply our way to build our family.

    GL!

    I hate that comment too. I guess I have a lot of worries partially because I'm so protective of my adopted sisters....my parents had horribly rude things said to them and still do. It bugs me more than anything else in this world. 

    Adoption is a GREAT way to build a family, and has always been part of my Plan A for my life. :) 

    Thank you again! :)
