Forum: Adoption After IF

Hi, my name is Jessica Chasan and I am an AP Psychology and Social Science Research student at the JFK High School in Plainview, New York. This year I am conducting a study that measures if the level of openness between a child and biological parent has an impact on the relationship between the...

Hi, I'm very new to the adoption forum. In fact, my husband and I are still contemplating our options. We have currently only done one IUI and I hope to do two more while he's deployed (he's in the military). If those don't work out our choices are IVF or adoption. I've seen so many success...

Hi im not sure where to post My Dh and I have talked about adoption now it seems as if we are both ready to start the process. I was considering going International but there are pros and cons to both. We have decided to go Domestic. I read on here someone that used Gift of Life in Pinellas Park...

Hi all, I am a birth mom that relinquished a child for adoption and couldn't conceive again. I ended coming full circle by adopting my little loves ( 2 little girls) from Guatemala! I also went through IVF twice and was puntured when we were starting it a third time. I am hosting a talk radio...

DH and I have recently come to terms with the fact that we can't have biological children. I've had three failed IUIs with donor sperm, and I'm not willing to spend $15,000-$20,000 on an IVF that only has a small chance of working. DH and I have discussed fostering and adoption at great length. ...

Hi everyone. I'm so glad I found this board! My DH are in a shared risk donor egg program and have had two out of 6 possible cycles fail so far. We do get 100% $$ back after it's over if we don't deliver a baby. At that point - maybe even sooner - we plan to seek adoption. My DH is adopted...

:wave: everyone. DH and I are near the end of our IVF donor egg journey w/o success. Within the year we will have exhausted our 6 fresh cycles and will be refunded 100% As we begin to research adoption, I'm so confused as to which type of adoption would be best for our situaiton/preferences. ...

Hi everyone, I'm new here. I just turned 28 years old and have been dealing with IF for 19 months. I've been told that I have Premature Ovarian Failure and the chances of me conceiving are slim. Obviously I'm not going to give up on myself, but wanted to look into adoption as well. It's...

I just mini punched a magazine cover of angalina Jolie (s/p) I do not know why.... I always loved her, I have not had any negative feelings about not being able to get PG in quite some time, but today I just went back to that dark space Thanks for letting me vent :)

I think mine would be "I hope you dance" I don't remember who sings it, but I know I think about my Journey whenever I hear it. What song do you think of?

I just wanted to check in to see how everyone is doing and if there are any updates. I hope you are all well!

If you have or know of someone, can you please tell me your experience?

Hi ladies, Just checking in to see how everyone is holding up? Just know that I am thinking of all of you and praying your child finds you soon. Hugs, :hug:

Hi Ladies, I thought this might be the place to post this question as you have been down the same road as myself and my friend with IF. My last chance IUI worked but my question is for my friend who had to stop the IF rollercoaster and move to adoption. She has been matched and is hoping to get...

Hi Everyone, I just wanted to introduce myself and tell a little about my history. My dh and I ttc'd for about three years when I emotionally could not handle it anymore. DH and I made the decision to move to adoption, although it took dh a lot longer than me. We completed a domestic adoption...

Any one have any thing new to update us for the new year?

Hi Ladies I'm a newbie on the adoption forums (although not a newbie in terms of FT). I wondered if it was ok to come and join you over here? DH and I are hoping to adopt after 13 years of ttc naturally (inc ivf and FET and lots of m/c). We decided after our last m/c that we were done with ttc...

One of my VERY good friends has been going through infertility since fall of 2005. They are now beginning the adoption process. What are some Key things to NOT say to her, TO say to her? In regards to everything. Fertility/infertility/Adoption. I recently watched "Tears and Hope", an awareness...

I didn't think I would be here so quickly but had a bombshell dropped in my lap yesterday. Let me introduce myself: I am 35, married, been TTC for over 9 years - 3 + with DH. Had my tubes removed in February 2008 to prepare for IVF. Went through 2 fresh and 1 FET cycle. Only the FET was...

I know this time of year can be rough, you are all in my heart and thoughts. :hug:

HI Everyone, :) My dh and I have been ttc for 4 years, and we've decided to stop tx and focus on international, open Ethiopian adoption. We are very excited and I would like support along the way-how to get through homestudies, how to handle potentially racist comments given that dh and I are...

Dh and I are looking for a reputable attorney to work with and are considering Ronald Kram and John Long. If you've worked with them or have any insight, I'd love to hear about it here or via PM. THANK YOU in advance

So, we're totally thrilled and excited about our impending Little China Girl. We are convinced that there is a reason we're not meant to have bio kids, and we think it's a genetic one. And we are 100% happy that we've decided to hang up the TX shoes and move along with other plans. But......

You know I never thought I would need to come here. I have made peace with so much in my life that many times I wonder why I was so upset in the first place. But like IF issues, it just comes up to bite you in the butte when you least expect it. A bit of history: We never did IF treatments. ...

Hi! I am from Saskatchewan, Canada. I am new to this board and have a few questions about getting started. Can anybody help? What is the usual wait time here?
