A call

I made a call today, to the adoption services offered through our church. We have been talking about it a lot lately and would like to have another door open in case I decide I can't handle another IVF now. I dont think that means we will never try again, just not now. I am excited, scared, anxious, happy, all over the place. I still have a little place in my heart that really wants a baby that is half me and half DH... But the fact is even with another IVF that may not happen. And I really feel like 1 more treatment is all I have left in me. (On Good days mabye 2 more cycles)

I am not sure where this road will lead us or even if it will end with a baby, but for today I am hopeful.

    I was excited to read this post. I can relate to where you are. We adopted our son domestically a little over 2 years ago and I cannot imagine life without him. We then pursued embryo adoption, and we are now 18 weeks pregnant. If you want to look at our story, we're at http://tyghbritneybrae.blogspot.com

    Great to hear you are looking into adoption. Like you i am currently exploring this option as well.
    Good luck on what you find out and maybe it will be something you are both comfortable to pursue further.

    How exciting! It was over a year ago that we first called or took any kind of step toward adoption.
    I don't think you ever have to give up that part of you that wants a baby that is genetically from you and your DH, but adoption gives you the opportunity to be parents and love a child even when your body won't cooperate. I will always hope that one day I can get pregnant, I think, no matter how many babies we adopt. It's just a biological need, I think. Totally normal.

    So excited for you guys!!! Hope is a wonderful thing and who knows what your journey will take you on next. I understand, I don't think I could go through another IVF cycle even if we had the money to do so. Hoping with you as you move forward!

    Good for you!! :) We are not yet there in our journey, but as of now we've decided if a few IUIs don't work, we move on to adoption. We've decided not to do IVF. We'll take failed IUIs as a signal that maybe God wants us to adopt a very special baby.
