Now...

Time has passed, things have progressed, life has gone on.

Well lets see, where are we at now. It's been awhile since I have posted. And no, I am not pregnant. Yes, we have continued to try, and try, and try. It has not happened. We have stopped seeing our fertility doctor as well. It seems like it got to the point of where I felt like the it's never going to happen and I am spending too much money and my hopes are getting too high for the rejection that I am bound to face. Don't get me wrong, the rejection (getting my period) is still quite a stab in the side, but at least it is not a stab in the pocketbook as well.

And Now...

In previous posts, I mentioned the adoption process. And I guess you can say that now "WE ARE EXPECTING!" but it's not in the traditional way as you may think. We have completed our home study and completed 32 hours of class room training and have inquired about adopting a child (or two) from the foster care system. We feel that this is a wonderful opportunity to fill our hearts and our home with the love for a child AND to give a child a forever home. We have inquired about the age group 4-7, skipping the new born or younger stage in hope of still becoming pregnant and having our own child someday.

So yes, we are definitely excited about this process. We are working the the State of NM's CYFD office in hopes that we can be matched with a child or sibling group to make our lives whole. We understand that there will be struggles and challenges with the foster/adoption process, but this something that we can handle. The infertility process has been a struggle enough, therefore, this will be tough, but hopefully not as rough.

There are so many thoughts that come into my mind about helping a child in this rough, cruel, world. I find it so hard to understand how people can treat their children so bad. But we are here, waiting, for a child to come into our lives. Key word.... waiting.... this is not the fastest process. We are dealing with state employees and a state agency. It gets frustrating at times, but I just keep thinking each day, we are one day closer to completing our family.
