I’m hesitant to even write some of this here because I know what I’m about to say might cause offense for some, but you know it’s my blog and it’s how I feel and so I’m going to say it. Just keep in mind this is my opinion. We went through a lot this summer [...]

Still on hold
Posted in Adoption, TTC on September 20, 2007 | 3 Comments »
We haven’t changed our status to active yet and we’re not sure when we will. We didn’t recover as much money as we thought we would and frankly we’re still feeling emotionally wrought from this summer. I’m sure if we got another call, we’d find a way to be ready, but we’re just not quite [...]
Life goes on

We haven’t gone back “active” just yet, we’re waiting until DH comes back from his conference before we make a final decision about what we want to do. In the meantime I’m working on me. I decided that I might not ever be ready to do full-fledged fertility treatments again, but we might try naturally [...]
Support

I don’t even know how to say thank you for all the kind words and cyber hugs from all of you. Many of you, I know and I really couldn’t ask for better friends – I don’t know what I’d do without you. But so many of you are just out there, on your own [...]
Again

We have another failed match. We’re just at a total loss. I spoke with our contact at the agency and she said that in all her time there she’s only seen 3 failed placements. It just seems statistically improbable that 2 of them would be the same couple, but I guess we’re living proof. Not [...]
Waiting in a hotel…again

We waited around until we got as final of a word as we could before we got in the car. We left TN around 8:30 (EST) last night and drove through the night and got in this morning at around 9:45 (CST). Needless to say we’re pooped. We spent the day at the hospital and [...]
Rollercoaster: Take 2

We got another call from our agency today and there is a mother in labor right now. They wanted to know if we wanted our profile read to her – well, yeah! So now we’re waiting again and since the mom is in labor, then I’m not sure what kind of timeline we’re working on [...]
Back home

We had such a nice, relaxing visit in Texas. It was good to get away and forget for a little while and although it feels a bit bigger and more painful now that we’re home, it’s good to be back in our house with our kitties. We haven’t heard anything new from the agency, but [...]
Down, but not defeated

And once again we’re a statistic. The birthmother changed her mind right at the last mintue. We were at the attorney’s office, she was filling out paperwork, we’d been there a while, the attorney felt certain she’d sign and then she just backed out. So drove back to the hotel, packed our stuff and we [...]
Running the emotional gamut

Okay, here’s the latest update. We’ve met N and Baby Girl. N is a beautiful and very sweet woman and I’m just heartbroken for her as I can only imagine having to make such a difficult decision. We’re staying in the same hotel tonight about 3 hours from where DH and I have been staying [...]
