@cntrymusicfan Of questions, a lot of them make sense, & then there was some random stuff. We had to get friends & family to fill out questionnaires, doctors sign offs, home inspections & in person interviews. Honestly, it was a ton of work but 150% worth it. After our failed infertility...

This is not a drill: WE HAVE OUR MATCH MEETING TOMORROW! Our persistence is paying off. 🤞everything goes well. Then we have phone visitation this weekend & in person early next week. Hoping to have him over for 🦃

@cntrymusicfan We did not. Our state allows families to adopt kids whose parental rights have already been terminated, directly. We went through parenting classes for 8 weeks, 3 hours a class. During that time we submitted our homestudy. For our county it was 48 page doc asking all kinds...

[Findingfertility @ISO_fertility]

@cntrymusicfan We are adopting directly, from foster care. It's been a journey, but such a blessing.

[Findingfertility @ISO_fertility]

We accepted the match! While we were overjoyed to begin this journey w/ our kiddo, it was tinged with a cavernous sadness & tinged w/ rage. It was hard to feel the full joy of this huge step, knowing what our kiddo had to face.

So its been a while but its because we've been so busy. Friday the week before Thanksgiving we finally got the call to have our match meeting. Its a nerve wracking experience. You’re excited to finally move forward, to learn more about the child you hope becomes your own...

[Findingfertility @ISO_fertility]

But its also sobering. This is when you learn about your kiddos history, the really tough stuff, what their struggles are, how they cope. In the meeting they gave us the overview, we spoke w/ our kiddos care team & they handed us a large packet with all the details.

[Findingfertility @ISO_fertility]

Correction: It's been over 11 months since we took our intro to adopt class, & 8 months since we inquired specifically about this teen. Still waiting for a response from our case manager. Hopefully we'll hear something today 🤞

[Findingfertility @ISO_fertility]

It's 8 months since we inquired about adopting. It took 4 months to get in to the parenting classes. It's been 3 months since & we still haven't gotten to meet him. "They're too busy" to finish our paperwork. He's SEVENTEEN.

Hoping he's home for 🦃 &🎄

We would have celebrated our baby's first birthday a few weeks ago, but we lost our miracle before we ever met.

about 2 weeks. So much for case worker who said she was trying to have our kiddo home for halloween. At this point it's almost been a year since we started this process, the system is so broken.

The process continues.....to stagnat. The contractor was suppose to come today she was a no call, no show. Called the supervisor, who got the contractor to call us. She explained that the agency often says it is expedited, but really they just don't have time.... it should take

[Findingfertility @ISO_fertility]

When you miss the call you've been waiting a month for from the subcontractor finishing your #HomeStudy.

[Findingfertility @ISO_fertility]

After 2 weeks of not hearing back from our case worker, we called her supervisor. Who is subcontracting out the rest of our homestudy. Almost 2 weeks later still waiting for an update. We're hoping to spend Halloween w/ our future son, but it's looking like a long shot

@katesssarah I'm glad yours went well! We just did ours a month ago. It's a big step, for us it's a financial consideration. My company is eliminating my position & our insurance won't cover any of it. Luckily, the urologist thinks a varicoceleetomy & more IUIs might work ♡ (& is covered)

[Findingfertility @ISO_fertility]

We were finally able to touch base w/ urology. Hubby has a bilateral varicocele & doc feels surgery has a good chance of improving sperm morphology. This could hopefully mean post surgery using IUIs could be successful, which would be a huge financial assist.

I can't handle one more family member saying "maybe some things aren't meant to be" when discussing trying #IVF. I know your accident babies weren't hard to come by, but that doesnt mean I shouldn't be a mom. It's so hurtful. Sorry my hubby is a #DisabledVet.

#infertility

[Findingfertility @ISO_fertility]

Today we finally had our infertilty follow up. Doc said we have hit the plateau for IUI success. Doc highly recommend #IVF as our only real chance for a bio-child. Good news is I have a good ovarian reserve, but we will need #ICSI.

@katesssarah For me it was calming I knew it wasn't real but I knew for certian the shot was out of my system when I did the offical test. For me trigger was usually totally gone by the end of day 4 ( 1-3 dpIUI)
