I agree. My second daughter's birthmom is family. Our first daughter's birthmom has no contact with us, her choice. In the last six years I have changed on how I view open adoption.
You may now find me blogging at Beyond Infertility. I hope you will visit me there.
about a blog
I started out blogging about our domestic adoption journey so family and friends may follow along, and so that others interested in adoption may learn from our experience.
But our journey has changed it’s course. We are now looking forward to FET (Frozen Embryo Transfer) thanks to a private embryo donation from very thoughtful and generous parents. Words cannot express.
Unfortunately our journey has ended and we were never able to add to our family of two.
You may find me blogging about our new journey, life without children, at Beyond Infertility.
Thank you for your love and support during our journey. I wish you all the best.
We've been trying to start our family since 2000. We've tried naturally, with infertility drugs, both oral and injections (self-inflicted by Julie) and two IUIs. None successful. We've had three miscarriages, though all pregnancies happened naturally.
We thought our problem was getting pregnant, we didn't realize we'd also have a problem staying pregnant. It seems it's just not meant to be. We spent over eight years on the infertility road.
We have now taken a turn onto the road to domestic adoption. We hope there is a baby, child or children out there somewhere who is/are waiting for us and wants to be part of our family.
A new road opened for us in February 2010. We are now in the process of receiving embryos through a private donation. We look forward to FET (Frozen Embryo Transfer) in the coming months, and hope for a successful pregnancy!
Who knew the road to parenthood would such a long and crazy one for us?

Your child is waiting for you somewhere. Your job is to find the people who will help you find her or him.

My views have definitely changed on open adoptions since we started the process. I actually love the idea now.
