Hi. I just found your blog. I’m so excited because I’m on a similar timeline. After years of infertility, we started the adoption journey in January. We became actively waiting in mid May. I just got caught up on your adoption journey entries. I love that you are honest with some of the darker feelings, like pregnancy resentment. It makes me feel less bad about myself for having similar feelings. Congratulations on your little boy—soon to arrive! If you’d like to follow my blog, it’s: documentingbeth.blogspot.com. I’m praying for a similarly speedy match for us too!
ReplyDeleteHi Jen:
ReplyDeleteElisa Hesch sent me s link to your site as you and I are on similar paths (our (Elisa's and mine) husbands are really good friends). We have TTC for about four years. We have done at least 6 IUIs, and have had 3 cancelled IVF cycles because I am a poor responder.
We're stuck right now. We're terrified to adopt, which is silly, I know. We're talking to one more fertility specialist in October, but I think in between now and then we need to start working on our adoption paper work.
AND...if you don't mind, I'd love some of your books! Actually, if you really want to get rid of all of them, I'll take them. Let me know. I'll check back with you in a few days.
