Not quite new, but never intro'ed

Hi all,

I've been here for a little bit now and I've posted and shared a bit of my story, but not really.  I'm having a really hard time right now so sometimes I'm here, and sometimes I'm not.  I appreciate those of you that have supported me despite my randomness.  My DH and I married a bit later in life, 35, and have been trying for kids ever since.  At 3.5 years later and two MC's, and two precious LO's for our siblings, we decided that we really, really wanted LO's running around our house.  We still have hope to have one of our own, but can't afford to do infertility and private adoption at the same time.  So, we decided to become foster parents, with the hope that we may get a LO that we can eventually adopt.  It's been a bit of a journey with the DH on the adoption conversation, so I was really surprised when he brought up fostering.  Our application packet is getting submitted this week and we are starting to prep our house for the home study phase. 

On the infertility side of things, I'm hopeful, but nothing has been easy and straight-forward.  Right now I'm on birth-control (again) to try to reset my body...apparently it doesn't do it well on it's own.  I had a really adverse reaction last week to a new pill...seriously thought I was going to have to be committed, so it's been tough going through this emotional process with that added on.  The support I need and find here seems to vary on a daily basis, and I'm thankful for all of you and your stories.

    Good luck!  Foster to adopt is such a roller coaster, but I am so happy we are doing it. I can't wait to hear about your journey!

    Good luck! We married even later in life than you but had hoped we could get pregnant anyway. That didn't happen. We are foster and foster-to-adopt as well. Been licensed since about late sept. early Oct. and still waiting for a placement.

    Thanks ladies!  @Chele you're in my thoughts, hoping the right child finds you soon!
