On the Adoption board yesterday because I figured it was time to start becoming familiar with the lingo and getting to know some of the ladies going through the adoption process. The only 2 people that responded to my post were from TTCAL 6+. Reason # 487 why I love you ladies and this board is and always will be "home".
Re: So I introduced myself...
1. Tina Fey is awesomeness!
2. I think TTCAL6+ is slowly becoming "TTCAL so fvcking long we've lost hope and even though I don't technically still qualify, I've been around so damn long there's mold on my butt and I'm not moving so screw you"
Or at least that's what I tell myself so I don't feel dumb still hanging around.
Yes... exactly. And neither one of us technically still qualify as we will never be TTC again, yet... where the hell do we go? And honestly, I have made such good friends here and ya'all have become a part of my daily life. I don't want to go anywhere else.
You and me and the 10 or so others in our situation, we'll just hang around as long as we want. We'll be like the TTC Squatters.

Oh oh oh ... I found our mascot!! (totally kidding of course - but he is the only famous squatter I can think of).
Uh... there is really no"yay" about my intro. Nobody on that board responded to me.
We love you too.
I think another alternate name for 6+ could be "Why the fvck don't you people give up already" or "TTCAPF - TTC after the point of futility."
"LIKE". You know... since I am being forced to give it up it's amost a free feeling. Like... I don't have to give a crap anymore. But we need to form some kind of a squatting or ttc after the point of futility club. That way, 20 years down the road when we are all still hanging in the dark corners of TB and all the ladies that started this journey with us are becoming grandma's... wait...nevermind, that's just too f'ing depressing.
So with that said... I have a bunch of crap that I don't need anymore.
Give the adoption board another chance. Some times it is slow over there and there are a lot of lurkers who read and don't post. I post over there because my 3 oldest are adopted. I was going to respond to you over there but I've kind of become persona non grata over here and I wasn't sure how you would feel if I did respond.
I don't really belong much of anywhere any more either. My adoption expertise is 11 years old and I'm waiting to MC #5.
PAL/PGAL Welcome
Hi Cissi! I am not going to give up on going to the adoption board and lurking and offering support when I can. I just don't understand the flow of the board yet and didn't realize there was a lot more lurkers than posters.
I am so so sorry to hear about your m/c. My thoughts are with you!! (((HUGS)))
I HAD heard that it was a slower board so that's, I'm sure, part of it.
And ditto Kel - I'm very sorry things aren't going well Cissi.
This is why I love you. The lolz. And I totally feel you guys. Trying to concieve after a loss for more than.... 6 months??? Bahahahahahah! But I'm not leaving, either. I am the 800lb man who can't leave his bed. The only way you're getting me out of here is when you forklift me into my industrial-sized coffin.
So true! And this is home for me.
