Hi everyone,

My husband and I are finally ready to adopt. We have been pretty much ready for quite a while, but wanted to give ourselves some time to deal with our fertility issues. We have been ttc for over 2 years now. I m/c more than 1.5 years ago, and we've both had lots of testing. DH is fine, and since the only thing they could find wrong with me was a fibroid, they labelled me with "unexplained infertility". I believe that my hormones got completely out of wack after my m/c, and that that also caused the fibroid to grow (didn't have that before). Also, I am 35.5. Anyhow, for the last 4 months or so, I have been in the care of a homeopath/naturopath and have also done some hypnotherapy with counseling recently. I feel a whole lot better these days, but just don't want to spend the next several years ttc and letting life pass by me anymore. We just really want a child! DH has been emotionally ready to adopt longer than me. I think I needed these last few months to deal with everything emotionally.

But now that we're both ready to adopt, we're so excited about it!

We have done some research and reading, and know some basic things. But any insights and help is more than welcome!!

We are looking into adopting a domestic newborn baby, and I'm wondering if anybody here has had any experiences (good or bad) with any agencies and/or adoption attorneys in the Northern CA area. We are about 1 hour North-East from Sacramento, but the Bay Area is good too.

Thanks so much in advance,

Edith
