We wrote 'because there's a hole in our hearts that we believe a child is out there to fill' on our application. When the SW asked us about it during our interviews, we related our entire 'story' to them - attempts to concieve, we did infertility testing (covered by ins) but didn't do extensive treatment. She asked why, and we said simply this 'we didn't go to the ends of the earth to conceive, we went to the ends of our heart'. When it came down to choosing my husband or the opportunity to conceive, I chose him. Infertility TX was destroying us.

We're now the proud parents of a beautiful 17 month old son, the absolute light of our lives. I was there for his birth, the first to hold him, and we have a strong relationship with his bfamily.

So, whatever you write, do so from the heart. That will say more about you than whatever words you write.

Take care, best of luck.
