Moving forward…

Adoption

We both agree this is the best option for us. The above image is kind of cheesy but I didn’t want to post a big negative sign… Honestly, I have enough to create a Halloween costume out of them.

Right now, I look forward to embracing my own hormones, rather then being overdosed with estrogen & progesterone on top of 5 days of clomid. I won’t miss the early morning blood draws and vaginal ultrasounds (dildo camera) before work that put me into a panic of guilt & anxiety, as I try and fit infertility into my teaching schedule.

In addition, I can’t hide my pain at work anymore ~ “My kids” at school mean the world to me and even though I’ve never spoken a word to them about our infertility, I swear they know…I can’t tell you how many times, I’ve been asked, “why don’t you have kids?” One kid called me “Mommy” the other day and I about lost it!

CS and I know that the hormones are not the answer to our dilemma. We know we have a greater purpose. But with that said, we feel relieved that we gave fertility treatments a chance and now we can move on with our adoption plans.

We hope that our support system will continue to be as encouraging and thoughtful during this next phase, as we attempt to locate and rear one well-balanced Homo sapien.

Until then…

Hey Sweetie,
I am so proud of you! You are going to be a wonderful mother however it happens. I am actually feeling a little selfish in that I know a ton of people having babies the "ordinary way", but you guys are the first couple I know who will be adopting. I'm so excited to be a part of this experience with you. As you know, if Bryan and I decide to become parents, adoption will be our option as well. I look forward to taking part in this with you. If you need anything, ANYTHING at all you know my number. Love you like a sister, Kel.
