Intro...

Hi everyone!

My husband and I are brand new to the world of adoption. We have been TTC since 9/10 with no luck. I have an endo diagnosis and my FSH is high. My husband also has mild MFI. SO, we have a whole bunch of things working against us in the baby-making department. After meeting with an RE last month, I did one medicated cycle where I had no response to Clomid or FSH.

We've decided not to do any more medicated cycles-- I just hate the thought of all of that medicine in me-- not to mention the expense. 

We have always been interested in adoption, and we've decided to move forward with it instead of continuing with medicated TTC. 

So, I am going to spend the winter figuring out exactly what type of adoption we are interested in pursuing, and I imagine I will be on this board quite a bit. I have checked out the FAQs and downloaded Adoption for Dummies to my Kindle last night. Everything seems super overwhelming, but hopefully I will figure it out soon.

Thanks for reading my super long intro post, and I look forward to getting to know you guys!

    "Hi" and Welcome!  This board has great ladies with lots of info!! Adoption for Dummies was rally helpful to me in the beginning and I also made my husband read it since he was very clueless about the whole process.

    Just take it one step and one decision at a time!! Good luck with your journey, post often!!

    Welcome :) Please let me know if you have any questions on the South Korea program or general questions.  This is a great place to come for support and answers!  We brought our son home from South Korea in 2010! What an amazing journey and he is the PERFECT addition to our family.   We hope to grow our family w/ adoption again in the future! Hope to hear more about your journey and provide support in anyway!
