I lurk from time to time on TTTC and SAIF to check on some of the girls I *know* from there. I never post on SAIF though and was just wondering if any of you do? Adoption does feel like SAIF for me but yet I don't feel like I belong over there, ya know? I'm not sure why either. I admit it though that sometimes it's too hard to see the belly siggies
Re: Former TTTCer's
I post on SAIF all the time. I truly feel that we are a success story. We took Ben to my RE's office and they said they didn't care if I got pregnant and had a baby with their help or if I adopted, as long as we had our beautiful baby. The women there are so nice.
I still read the TTTC board too, but I don't post because I've got Ben's pictures in my siggy.

Once in a while I peek at the tttc board, but I agree that it's hard sometimes. I used to post on it all the time.
I do go on the SAIF once in a while, but I haven't posted (yet.) Maybe I will at some point.
I lurk on SAIF because I went through treatments with so many of them (21 cycles of trying, 17 weeks of pregnancy) that I want to see their happiness, even if it hurts a little. I've only posted to a couple people (one lost her FIL tragically, and MayDayGirl, when she had her baby).
I lurk on TTTC as well sometimes - much less frequently.
I am a huge lurker. It does not seem to bother me seeing the belly's. I tend to lurk on SAIF. I do not lurk on TTTC, those seem harder to read for me. Strange.
I work from home so I spend wayyyyyy to much time lurking online.
I know I am way late in responding, but I wanted you to know that this is not the way we all think... In fact, I am here because I am trying to find out more about adoption. We were incredibly lucky to have a child, but there is little chance (less than 1% naturally and little chance of IVF again) of another, and we would like to adopt another child. I hope my siggy is not offensive, but he really is a miracle to us, as any child would be, regardless of how they join our family.
I will also say that all the boards have ebbs and flows and although there is a lot of heartbreak on tttc, anyone seeking adoption is totally considered SaIF to us! Success means having that family you yearn for, regardless of how you did it.
