Trying not to get too excited - PiP
Keith's SIL's younger sister just had her 3rd baby on Christmas day. It's a long, complicated story that I won't get into right now, but basically, she's now considering looking into signing over her rights to BIL & SIL.
I have no idea how that would work legally, or if it's even possible. They are going to talk to a social worker tomorrow, I think.
Anyway, I'm really trying not to get excited, but it's at least slightly possible that I might be about to be an aunt (at least sort of!) and so it's hard not get to excited at that prospect... even though I am not sure it's 100% a good idea all the way around. It's hard to try to stay positive but not be too positive.
Anyway, who WOULDN'T get excited about possibly being able to be an aunt to this adorable little squishy face?!

Her name is Jacey Lyann. I THINK that the middle name is pronounced like Lee-ann, but it might be Lie-ann. I am not 100% sure.

Aww...so cute!
There was just something similar to this situation on 16 & Pregnant, where the niece signed over the kid to the aunt or something like that.
March 2011 - IUI #1 = BFN
April 2011 - IUI #2 = BFN
May 2011 - Monitored IUI cycle to see what's going on. Ha! Tons of follicles, none big enough to do insemination.
June 2011 - Nothing - unexplained (probably stress) 58 day cycle.
July 2011 - Switch from Clomid to Letrozole. Let's get these follicles growing! 2 follicles big enough, HCG injection, BFN
Break taken to focus on our marriage and less on not getting pregnant.
February 2012 - Ready to get back on the horse and try IUI #4 - - BFN
May 2012 - IUI #5 with Letrozole and HCG - BFN
June 2012 - Doctor wants to move to injectible IUI or IVF. We don't want IVF but agree to do injections.
Currently - Saving money for Injectible IUI cycle and taking the first steps towards adoption!

Awww, Jacey is so beautiful!! What a cute little nose!
I'm not sure how private adoptions go in OK, but I know here in PA with a private adoption the one giving up the child is allowed to choose who can adopt the baby. And it a lot easier process than most adoptions. I really hope it works out!

She is so sweet!!! How do you pronounce her first name? Is it "Jay-Cee" or Jackie?
J
Perfect love drives out fear.

Well, it's a little more complicated than private adoption. DHS, from what I understand, is involved at this point. So, I am not sure the mother will have any say really. But I just don't know how it all works.
I guess as of today, the mother's father (who is not the father of SIL) is saying that he wants custody instead of SIL getting it. I don't know. Sounds like it's gonna be a mess for a while.
It's pronounced like Jay-See.
