Deciding what path to take when you’re in the midst of infertility is sort of like walking into a casino, and pouring $20,000 (or more) into one of four or five slot machines and hoping you picked the right one.
All of the choices are expensive.
All of the choices are a huge gamble.
All of the choices entail you and your partner being evaluated, questioned, and put under a microscope. Sometimes literally.
All of the choices can lead to heartbreak, disappointment, and loss.
All of the choices involve a leap of faith.
I am proud, terrified, ecstatic, nervous, and hopefully announcing that we are leaping.
When we get back from our cross country trip and find jobs, we will be pursuing domestic infant adoption.
Cross your fingers and hold on tight, because you know you are all coming along for the ride.

Wishing you all the luck in the world! We decided to pursue adoption as well after almost 4 years of infertility & ended up conceiving our miracle (who’s now 6 months old) while saving up.
Oh that is SO exciting!!! I’ll be praying, crossing my fingers, toes, and hair for you!! I hope more than anything that you get the child of your dreams!!!
Best of luck as you begin this new journey together! What an exciting future is in store for you both!

Awwww. I’ll be a reference but I don’t know if they’d take me seriously since we only met once. But I feel like I know yall for real! “I met them online, and I love their writing. My son and I met them on a blind date at Rita’s and minutes after leaving my son said, “I miss them already.” They will make really wonderful parents!”

I got goosebumps reading this. Certainly I am no one to tell you what your path should be, but I have a (strong) hunch that this is a great one for you and hubby. Enjoy your trip (and I wish you were coming anywhere near me, sad you’re not) and know good things are waiting for you when you settle back down 🙂 Very excited for you all!
