Updates in the quest for motherhood
So it's been 19months this month since we've started trying to start a family. Today we heard back from our caseworker, and after speaking to her, she told us that private adoption is the way we should go, as the ages we're looking for and everything else can take years to be placed and finalized.
Our other option is to do a frozen Embryo Transfer, but I'm not even sure that's something I want to do because if we have to bury another child I will not survive.
Today I'm pissed that DH is the infertile on in his family but his lowlife oldest brother can keep getting women pregnant left and right. I'm pissed that unless we shell out over 15,000 to get a baby, or I risk everything and we do IVF again I will never ever be a mother to anything but a dog and an urn. Dear life, f you.

Aww Mo, I'm sorry you and Sean are going through this. That being said, I know the right kid for you guys is out there, and that you guys will make great parents.
And, I'm thinking we should plan to do something fun to get your mind off things (even though I know it's always there). Maybe a trip to Great America to blow off some steam?
