You'...I'm really HAPPY to read these words. You're right that we're all on different phases in our IF journeys. I've also felt that most days I've embraced this childless state, though there's still a little glimmer of hope yet, but 'coz we're not actively TTC anymore or pursuing any adoption, we're not really "in the battle zone" anymore so to speak.Amelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16792921371964029469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6351376295798549149.post-31288316251337440782010-10-29T20:24:18.375-07:002010-10-29T20:24:18.375-07:00I'm a dolt, you've adopted already.

My husband feels like he is being prompted to adopt, so we are heading that way, but I am still struggling with the thought of not being pregnant, and actually giving birth to my baby. You said you had come to terms w/ it, was there something that helped you move past that feeling? I would really appreciate any advise, you are certianly a great example!

Thank you for sharing who you truly are with us. <br /><br />Reading this post did make me regret my use of the work 'resolve' in my comment to the last post. Of course your infertility isn't resolved. What an insensitive thing for me to say. I apologize for it and hope you can forgive me. I think I meant it as the issue of childlessness is resolved with adoption, but infertility sure isn't. I should have made that more clear. <br /><br />Enjoy the absence of childlessness. Pretty soon, you will hear the word mama directed right at you.Augustahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01257478728772841767noreply@blogger.com
