Hello ladies.  I have a feeling I'm going to be spending some time here and wanted to introduce myself.  I guess a bit of backstory would be helpful in accomplishing that.  H and I have been TTC since April 2012 with no results.  We are both 35.  After dealing with a gyn who only wanted to dump me on clomid despite that fact that I have temp charts and positive OPK's and refused to do bloodwork, we sought out the help of an RE in June.  After extensive workup it came to light that H has very little and very poor quality sperm.  We were told that if we wanted to attempt a pregnancy that we would need to do donor sperm with IVF.  That is more then we were willing to do and are now pursuing a domestic adoption.  We are still in the information gathering stage, but I'm sure that you ladies will be a wealth of knowledge.

    Hi! When my DH and I made the decision to pursue a domestic adoption, the first thing I did was buy an empty notebook. Then, we went to the library and checked out all of the *current* books they had on domestic adoptions - I tried to only read the ones written the last 5 yrs. After that, we spent a few mornings curled up at Barnes and Nobles, with all the books they had on the subject. I filled that notebook with anything and everything that we found helpful. One of the absolute best books we read - that we actually ended up buying, we liked it that much, was

    Secrets to Your Successful Domestic Adoption: Insider Advice to Create Your Forever Family Faster by Jennifer Pedley

     

    I would definitely recommend reading it. I hope that helps!
