Adoption

Hi & Intro/background (kinda long)

Hi Everyone ~

I would like to say hi and introduce myself & give a little background as we are entering a new journey to have our dream family.

DH & I are coming up on our 5 yr wedding anniversary & 8 yrs together.  I just turned 32 & DH will be 34 in Oct and we just crossed our 5 yr TTC mark.  I have been on the IF & IFVets boards for most of those yrs.  I was dx'd with PCOS unoffically @ 17, offically @ 27.  We have no IF insurance coverage even in a mandated state (which really sucks).  We have done clomid & bravelle cycles with no success.

We recently decided that we are going to start looking into adoption as a way to build our dream family.  We have told DH's parents and a few friends but we are leaving it at that for now.  We are extremely nervous & excited at the same time. 

We have an appt with a lawyer at the end of the month.  I'm still very overwhelmed with everything that this is bring into our lives.  If you have any suggestions, advice, success stories or words of encourgement that would be awesome!!

We are hoping to do a private adoption and finding a BM on our own.  If you have done or are going through this type of adoption, if you have any suggestions or advice that would be awesome as well.  TIA

  • Hello and welcome! Did you check out the fact page yet? If not you might want too as their is a lot of good info on it. I've been through IF he'll too and am now pursuing adoption as well. Just wanted to wish you luck. At points your head will spin from all the info but you will sort it out and if you have questions just ask.
