We decided not to go back to the classes right now. We really want our own child. It will still be an option if for some reason we can't get pg, but I want to try that first.

That's ok! There is nothing wrong with doing what you feel is best for you guys right now. Besides, I think it's extremely admirable that you would even consider foster/adoption as an option...even if you decide in the end that it's not for you. There needs to be more people like you out there (Side note: I'm adopted, so I am always in favor of people opening their homes!)

[Belita]

Yeah, yeah. So you say now. I've seen how you change your mind!

Fostering can be really hard and you need to be committed. It can be so hard to take in a non-baby and I'm obviously speaking from experience. I'm not gonna lie, I often wish I was dealing with a strangers mom than my sister. It'd be easier for me to lay down the law. Anywho, I don't see anything wrong with wanting your own and if you decide to foster/adopt then you'll wanna be fully committed to the process

Lol Robyn! Well it's too late now! We have already missed two classes!

[Tammyms]

That's great Kara! And in a month if you decide to go back down that road, that's ok too

Our idea for adopting was to have our own, then when that child was a few years old, adopt one around the same age. Not sure if we'll still pursue that, I guess it will depend how much IVF ends up costing.

There is nothing wrong with putting it on hold. Adoption/fostering is a huge decision so you should wait until you are absolutely ready and there is nothing wrong with trying for your own first. I think it's awesome you were considering it.

[dibbers]

I think any child, whether its one you have conceived, adopted or fostered would be lucky to have you both in their lives.

When they are older and understand the journey you have gone through they will be filled with pride and and happiness knowing how much they were wanted. xx

Aww thanks girls!!! We just decided we weren't ready for that road yet!
