We got pregnant with DD on our wedding night (first time I ever had unprotected sex im my life, I might add). After a truely horrible pregnancy and a recovery that was worse than you can imagine, we knew we would adopt baby number 2 (and 3,4, & 5 if I have anything to say about it!). We DD was about a year old we found out she had a serious debilitating medical condition that any future children would have a 25% chance of getting. We planned to adopt or chance the odds when DD was in school full time. We were all set for an international adoption (check in the envelope) and found out I was pregnant. After I recently lost twins at 16 weeks I was willing to try the genetic route again but my husband was not. So we agreed on adoption but decided that it made more sense to adopt interacially in the US (for us).
Adoption is not second choice for us its just one of many we could have made. Right now I am thinking that pregnancy (despite the bad results the last two times) would be much easier than letting everyone in the world dig around in my life.
They actaully asked on the employer reference letter "How does the person show affection?" Try being a lawyer and discussing that one with the CEO of your company. Ugh. I am actaully looking forward to the waiting portion of the process just to not have people digging around in my life!
Keep the stories coming! Its very interesting to hear how there are so many ways to get to the same result.
