DH and I are at a crossroads. We're not exactly sure which way to go, so we're going to do research on all avenues and go from there. Our choices:
Another round of IVF
Adoption
Fost/Adopt
The last one has really been on my mind lately. The other night I was talking to a friend who has 3 beautiful children and is going to fost/adopt 2 children of her husband's drug addict cousin. Right now they are going through the steps to become foster parents to these little kids. I was so inspired talking to her.
One thing I keep asking is...why? Why are we going through this? I think because of our failed IVF we're more open to look at other options. Maybe we needed to go through that to help us look down different avenues.
Like I said we're at a crossroads...no idea how all of this will play out, but we'll keep doing our research.
Good luck with making a difficult decision.
ReplyDeleteI have a friend who is doing foster/adopt right now and they have a 13 yr old placed in their home. She is sooo happy. I am praying for you guys so that you make the best decision for your family.

ReplyDeleteCommenting back from ICLW ~ I am in the same boat - same lay of the land is in front of me too. What do we do next...what if NOTHING works? This is all so dizzying~
ReplyDeleteI am adding your blog to my list too and I'd love to stay in touch. Best of luck to you!!
July 19, 2002. My crossroads. We hadn't even been trying that long in the bigger sense of TTC. But we knew that we probably wouldn't get pregnant...ever (and we haven't since then). It is a hard decision and none of the roads are easy. But I'm blessed because of the choice we made. And I hope you will be too. Wishing and hoping that your dream of becoming a mother comes true very soon.
