We're in much the same position as far as adoption goes. If we do adopt, it will probably be an older child out of the foster care system. I do understand why private adoptions are so expensive, and I would definitely pay anything I had to in ordet to make sure the birth mother was getting the absolute best prenatal care while she was carrying my baby, but it's way beyond my means. I wish you the best of luck with the naturopath. I was seeing an accupuncturist for a while, and he really straightened out my cycles. Now, I have a text-book monthly cycle. Still no baby, but I have hope. I worry that the Clomid is going to screw my body up more, but I have just one more month with it. I empathize with you.
