I REALLY hope people in your life quickly come to understand how slowly adoption processes move and just politely wait for you to share news as it comes up. I mean, C'MON people!AmyGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09507868273451434948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1271437971563421813.post-3683118724754578462011-08-14T20:17:01.682-07:002011-08-14T20:17:01.682-07:00I'm so glad that you shared your adoption news...I'm so glad that you shared your adoption news and that it was met with enthusiasm and support :)<br /><br />I know what you mean about thinking that you feel strong one moment and then feeling weak the next.

I will say, that it is very similar to ART in that those who know can't help but ask how things are coming along. It does get to be a drag because unlike with ART when there was seemingly always something to report (follicles, eggs retrieved, fert report, embryos growing out, embryos transferred, etc) with adoption once your 'file' is complete and your home study is approved there truly is nothing to report until there is something to report (which can be months at a stretch or longer).<br /><br />And, I am not sure that IF can be put behind one. I think it is like any other part of one's life story (I had my appendix out, I'm right handed, I'm infertile) and even though we stopped ART 2 years ago, it still comes up in ways I wouldn't have imagined.<br /><br />I don't say any of this to detract from your journey but more as somethings to file away...It Is What It Ishttp://itiswhatitisorisit.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1271437971563421813.post-87598253762045669802011-08-11T15:55:22.011-07:002011-08-11T15:55:22.011-07:00congrats on being able to take that huge step of t...congrats on being able to take that huge step of talking to people about your adoption plans! That's awesome. I know it can be hard when they don't really get it all, but I am sure it is nice to have it out there in the open with more people.<br /><br />I think it is also really smart to be putting the infertility part behind you. Way to be moving forward with life!Nicolehttp://nicoleciomek.comnoreply@blogger.com
