We Have a Date! |

Holy Crap!!! (Can I say that on ConceiveOnline?!) We have our homestudy date! Here we are almost a year after we started this process and we are almost to one of the biggest parts of our adoption.
I am excited, I am scared, I am nervous; I am just a big ball of emotions. This is one of those things you talk about in your adoption classes, you know it is coming but it is kind of like that big thing down the road and you will deal with it when you get there....well it's here! This is so huge for us because it really seems like that last big step before we officially start waiting for LP! There is a bit over a month before our homestudy; enough time for me to clean every nook and cranny (yes I know you do not need to, but I feel the need). We only have a few things to do—finish our fire escape plan, print our emergency contact list and get our new flooring done. So all in all, not too bad. I cannot believe we are here. It is so surreal. Here we are, at the homestudy, with just one more form for Colombia and a bit of paper work for the homestudy and we are done! I can almost say I am paper pregnant! Comments (1)

Embryo Adoption I just learned about a form of adoption that was a surprise to me in my adoption exploration journey... embryo adoption. Have you heard of it? We are in the middle of determining whether to move forward with domestic or international adoption and a friend told us about embryo adoption. I've been following your blog and I know from your description that both you and your hubby have fertility troubles. But can you carry a pregnancy? Maybe not. My OB says I can, but I keep miscarrying anyway. I've always wanted to experience pregnancy - perhaps this is worth pursuing? Thought you may not have heard of it either. |
My husband and I are a couple in our late 20s with the hopes of 'filling our nest!' Before meeting my hubby I was diagnosed with PCOS, endrometiosis, fibroids, and adhesions and underwent 2 surgeries. We tied the knot in 2008 and before long decided to go with 'if it happens, it happens.' We did not try to stop it, but it never happened. After more surgeries and tests for me we looked at my hubby, his SA test came back showing azoo. So there we were; enjoying couples infertility. With our combined diagnoses we decided to forgo the treatments promising less than a one percent chance of success. We chose to pursue adoption. We felt it was meant for us. Come along as we deal with both the infertility and the adoption aspects of our life! You can also scroll through my babbles at
