Well since I was adopted, before hubby and I were even married we discussed children and their importance in our life. I was adamant that if we could not conceive on our own, that I wanted to adopt. Hubby whole heartedly agreed.
For awhile I wanted to try and be pregnant. Not having a biological connection never really mattered to me, but in starting our own family I wanted to know that I had tried everything. We did all the infertility stuff and when we went for IVF we both said that if it did not work, we were going with adoption. We tried one fresh round and had a chemical pregnancy. We had 6 frozen embies, but I knew at that time I was not ready to go that route anymore, I wanted to adopt.
Two months later we found a woman we were comfortable working with and 2 months after that we started the process. 3 months later we had our son! A total miracle.
In OCtober of this year we discussed going back on the adoption list when our son turned 1. We decided we wanted to do our frozen transfer as it was a quarter of the cost and wanted to give our life a chance. When they thawed only 3 survived and one actually decided to stay around. I am now 32 weeks pregnant with another little boy. We are thrilled. There is a part of me though that was really wanting to adopt again. I can't really explain it, trust me I feel totally blessed, but I just felt so wonderful in bringing home our son. He is our pride and joy, I know we will make a difference in his life as he has made a difference in ours. He gave us our second miracle!
