Ohio here also. We decided to foster-adopt due to the fact of me having endometriosis and my husband having cystic fibrosis (2yr post celebrations of bi-lateral lung transplant receipent on Sept 4th 08  ) Private adoption is out of the question, I can't justify thousands of dollars when there are hungry people out there. These agencies need to not black market babies! Oh I don't want to get started on this subject Anyway, we chose childrens services. Yes there may be heartache but to me it will be worth it to hae had a minute with this little one. I pray God does what is best for her. I agree with you on your health issues. Migraines are nothing to be sneezed at, it is very serious and extremely painful. To give up your medication would be crazy. I bleieve my child is out there also, I am meantto be a mommy. I told my husband, I don't want to be pregnant, I just want to be a mom.
God bless you on your journey!
