Suggesting adoption is really easy. But I don't think it would take away the complicated feelings that likely come with the package of not being able to conceive, although it would certainly distract you from them. <BR/><BR/>What you're going through has nothing to do with choice.Bluestreakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07350399171607670916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7753223694881775789.post-57870588267081941652009-02-27T09:37:00.000+00:002009-02-27T09:37:00.000+00:00@Laurie - Thank for laying it out as you see it, I...@Laurie - Thank for laying it out as you see it, I appreciate it, I hadn't meant to be facetious in my previous response.<BR/><BR/>I have little or no answer really, adoption just isn't right at the moment. It has to be right doesn't it? It takes special people to adopt, strong people. It wouldn't feel right doing it out of desperation.<BR/><BR/>It's a huge step, a huge undertaking, as is trudging through fertility treatments, both are all consuming, one of them would undoubtedly suffer.<BR/><BR/>I will correct you on one thing, we are not <I>choosing</I> to have our hearts broken, we could choose any number of paths, but the heart break would come regardless. <BR/><BR/>If we had half a dozen children through adoption, every month we failed to conceive would still be the same.<BR/><BR/>There is no choice.Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11044403947730363259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7753223694881775789.post-20289220332978222422009-02-27T09:17:00.000+00:002009-02-27T09:17:00.000+00:00No, Box, I am not smoking weed. I tried to be cry...No, Box, I am not smoking weed. I tried to be cryptic, but since that didn't work, here goes.<BR/><BR/>For two years you and your wife have had your hearts broken every month. I imagine you have shed a few tears monthly, too. Yet, I remember a post not too long ago when you tried to articulate exactly why procreating is so important to you, and you had a hard time doing it, so it begs the question: Do you want to replicate your genetic material or do you want to be parents?<BR/><BR/>As I type this there are hundreds of thousands of children around the world who would love nothing more than to have loving parents and a place to call home (and maybe a full belly and shoes that fit). Ask yourself this important question: Why won't I consider adoption right now? It doesn't mean you and ET can't keep trying to conceive, and it will start you on the road to parenthood in a sure way.<BR/><BR/>Again, I say this out of love and out of having been EXACTLY where you are now. Everyone comes to this blog because it is obvious that you are such a sweetheart. But, you are choosing to have a broken heart right now. Choosing to. You have a choice, a choice that could save not only your world and ET's but somebody else's as well. I can't think of a better gift to give yourself, your wife, or the world.Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03610008504923118668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7753223694881775789.post-1825574421413650382009-02-26T22:36:00.000+00:002009-02-26T22:36:00.000+00:00@Kathryn - Thank you for that.
