So, as I mentioned in earlier posts, attempt #3 was an early miscarriage, which put us on a holding pattern. Then, we were ready to try back up in January 2007, when I was told my titer for measles came back too low. Meaning, if I were to get pregnant and came into contact with someone with measles in the 3rd trimester, I could have a child with birth defects. Then I had an accident and tore my ACL. So putting extra weight via pregnancy is not a good idea.So we are starting the paperwork for foster/adoption. We are so excited at the idea of having children I cannot stand it! Tonight we have meeting #1 of 2 in our homestudy!

Hi-
Congrats on starting the homestudy process. We also tried to get pregnant adn then went the fostercare/adoption route. We were going to adopt all of our children after having the first one, but then just decided to adopt them all. I don’t know what state you’re in but I hope your process is as easy as ours. Good luck and congrats on the new path! We have a 17 month old who has been with us since Decemeber and it is starting to look like adoption is going to be an option. The whole process of working toward reunification and then adoption has been rewarding and stressful. But worth every minute of it. I hope all works out for you both!
