Also adopting through the state
Melissa, You had mentioned that you are also adopting through the state and had to submit medical exams. I hope you don't mind, but what is it the state was looking for? Just a clean bill of health? You had also mentioned that some agencies want a statement of infertility from the doctor, to help you move beyond and focus on adoption. I think I am in more of a unique position, because we are seeking adoption at the same time pursuing infertility trreatment after 2 miscarriages. This is something we disclosed at the time of our interview. We have come to terms with the fact that I may never give birth to a baby. I think the state is more interested in placing children with the right people, regardless if you are still seeking pregnancy or not. There are hundreds of kids waiting! At least that was the impression I got from our case worker. She wanted to make sure we were adopting in order to build a family, and committed 100% to the process. Not just abandon the idea of adoption should I become pregnant. Oh well, I've turned this into a rambling "me" post, and I apologize!
