Some news... I guess

Unfortunately, Jack will never have a biological baby brother or sister :(  Medically because of all the problems I had during pregnancy, my Dr has suggested that I not have anymore.. Mike got a hysterectomy in December and I have had the ablation in July because of more medical issues.. We are still not sure if I need a hysterectomy yet..

All this baby talk is making me want another baby.. I guess I may as well spill the beans.. Mike and I have started talking about adopting a baby.. We are just in the talking stages right now. And no one IRL knows anything about this yet.. I needed to tell someone.. Right now we live in a townhouse.. Its pretty big, but we agree that if we are going to bring another child into our lives we need to buy a larger house.. Especially a home with a yard.. Next year hopefully if the market in our area gets better, we will be putting the townhouse up for sale and looking for a larger home and filing adoption papers..I am pretty nervous about the whole process but I want Jack to have a brother or sister, and I really want another..

Soooo... maybe I can join the orgy, but instead of TTC we are TTA (trying to adopt)?

 

Re: Some news... I guess

  • Sorry you are still having issues and have been advised to not have any more of your own.  But I think it is so awesome that you are talking about adoption.  There are lots of kids out there that need a good home and a loving family.  Best of luck as you venture deeper into it.

  • Wow! That's awesome! Best of luck to you through the process, I've heard it's tough but definitely rewarding! I've heard the adoption board is good on the Bump.

  • I'm sorry you can't have any more children, that must be difficult.  There are several ladies over on the MM board that have successfully adopted, through several avenues.

    Good luck with everything!

  • I'm sorry you're having issues :(  That's awesome that you're starting the adoption process!!  Good luck! And of course you should join the orgy!!
  • I will add my T&P that things go smoothly if you do go the adoption route. I think it's great. There are so many great kids out there who need good homes.

  • I'm sorry you have had so many medical issues. However, I think adoption is just awesome. My nephew is adopted and there isn't a day that goes by that I think of how much better his life is now rather than with his birth mother. While the process can be long, my sister and BIL got him just a couple months after turning in their book for moms to look through. Good luck!!

  • {hugs} That must be such a tough thing to be dealing with, on top of all the medical stress of the past year.

    Jump on in to the orgy! TTC / TTTC / preparing to TTC / preparing to adopt ... we've got it all! :)  (says the woman who is staying far far away from the orgy)

  • I personaly think that anyone who tries to adopt is amazing! Good luck with the 'talking' and if you have any questions, I know a TON of people who have adopted from different places.

  • I truly believe that it takes a special kind of person to open their hearts and home and adopt a child in need.  I think you and DH are pretty freaking awesome for making a difficult situation into something good. 
  • I'm so sorry you have to deal with all that =(

    Congrats on starting the adoption process!!
