Hi Guys,
CakeGirl - My mum is totally coming around. Don't get me wrong, she is still nervous about having the birth parents in our lives, but now she is so excited about being a Grandmum again, and in her eyes things are finally starting to happen (after all these years of just 'talk') so she is now able to look past the nervousness and just be excited for us all.
It's a shame about your dad tho. Do you think he will come around when your little one is in his life?
Litter Kwitter - how cool. I totally believe that animals can be trained to do just about anything. I have pet mice that are trained to use a litter box within their cage. Very funny. (Well as of last night - only one pet mouse). 1.5 years old an died of old age. Very sad.
Thanks for the addy. Mine is cursedkirsty at hot mail dot com. Ditto with my addy. I don't use it often (except on messenger). Are any of you guys on messenger?
What on earth is a grappler?
Lets ask questions - be nosy - be personal. Just feel comfortable knowing that if we are being too personal the other person will tell us to butt out. I wont be offened. Tell me to butt out anytime you like.
Why has the Australian government changed the laws around IVF? Was is free/subsidised or something? I have heard nothing of this. Why would you want to limit the number of cycles done in a year? I'm really confused. In NZ, if you have been trying to get pregnant for 5 years or more, you are legally entitled to 2 free sessions of IVF.
I find your views on pregnancy/adoption really amazing. I'm not passing judgement at all - please dont get me wrong - I've just never really thought too much about it from a single perspective before. It's really interesting to hear your thoughts. When I was pregnant, I can remember thinking - how do these girls do it alone? I really don't think I could have, or would have wanted to. So I think I get what you are saying about that. Do you worry the same about being a single parent? About not being able to share the milestones with someone? But then I guess if you have a good support network (i.e. your mum) it wouldn't really be that different. Do you and your mum live close in locality?
Richie - Sperm donation really interests me. To be honest I don't know much about it. Do you have to do IVF with the Sperm or is it up to you how you use it? Like a turkey baister situation? Sorry if that sounds terrible, I'm not trying to be funny.
In my eyes sperm donation seems a good way to go if you were single and wanted to get pregnant. It has a bit of a stigma around it tho doesn't it? I wonder why.... Hmm.
Hey, have you guys ever wondered what its going to be like when our adopted children are teenagers and dating. Do you think you will be screening their lovers for signs of likeness incase they are related in someway? Maybe submit them to a DNA test. LOL. Have you guys heard any stories about this?
Well that's it from me. Opps except one other thing. Thurs and Fri of last week I found out two ladies at my work are pregnant and are expecting in Dec and Jan. I wasn't upset. I wasn't angry or jelious. I was happy. Really. I even said to one of them, you never know, I could have a baby before you. Isn't that a spooky thought.
Take Care, keep in touch.
Kirsty
