Hello all,
Long time no blog! Well, after the new year we started to discuss our future IVF plans. Our forced break in November/December allowed us time to really think about what we want to do . The sad news is, we have decided to no longer pursue IVF.
The happy news is we signed with an adoption agency on January 29th and in about 2 weeks we'll be home study approved! It's been a lot of work gathering all of the necessary documentation and going through all of the interviews so we are glad that's about wrapped up.
We are very excited about our decision. I'm actually more excited than I was during IVF.
