I'm also TTC after adoption, our ds is 4 and that 2nd adoption just hasn't worked out yet. So since I needed another surgery to remove endometriosis anyway, we decided to try a few months of hormone shots to see if we could conceive. We are just starting month #2.

I have told most of my close family and friends what we are doing. It seems like our fertility life has been an open book from day #1, but it led to the adoption of our 1st child so it was worth it. No one has commented on us going this route...and I'm pretty sensitive so I'm thankful for that. I do think I've guarded who I've told to avoid flippant comments from people.

I too have those desires to conceive and birth a child. It doesn't mean I don't love my ason and the whole process that involved, I consider him the greatest gift God has ever given me and a total miracle. It means I am human and I am a woman. I think God made us with those desires, it's natural.

I struggle with adoption agencies wanting us to grieve our loss of never birthing a child and expecting us to fully commit to adoption. Fortunately it hasn't come up with the agency we are working with now.

I don't see many other new posts on this thread. We'll see if there are others out there in our shoes.
