Seven years ago, I placed my birthdaughter in open adoption. I have a wonderful relationship with her and both of her adoptive parents…but I sure wasn’t prepared for what I am facing now.
Having moved on and married, I tried to start a family with my husband…only then did I find out I am suffering from Secondary Fertility and Early Onset Menopause. I’m lucky enough to have been able to parent a son born before my daughter, but I find myself wanting more children.
Dealing with infertility and adoption can be a daunting task for anyone, but especially so for birthparents who have placed a child in adoption. I am lucky enough to have a wonderful open relationship with my daughter and her parents, and they have been very supportive of my desire to adopt.
I look forward to meeting others like me, and networking here on the forum
