I'm in my 5th year of primary infertility and am doing my 2nd round of IVF this summer. I have never considered domestic adoption but have considered (and still am considering) foreign adoption. I'm thrilled to see another side of it. It's a little like trying it on for size, so thanks. I’ve just stumbled across you today.

You've handled all of this with such humanity and grace that it makes the concept of adoption a little less foreign to me. I can't thank you enough for sharing this experience.

Though I've gathered lots of data about what types of adoption are available, how to do them, how much they cost, this personal side is a very important piece to me as well. I'm so glad you are willing to share - and I won't be going away, either.

It is not hard for me to read you for 2 reasons: (1) I am not ready to adopt. I try to listen to what's going on inside and my inside says I'm not there yet. And (2) you have waited for another child, and pained for another for so long that I can only be happy for you. And when I am really needing to see the positive side (that I will have another child someday) I think of you or come see what's up because after all you've been through, "See it can happen, even to us."
