I just found this board from a post Pray put up on the PCOS board. I actually didn't even know this board existed. I'm excited to start chatting with you girls and see how all is going! I actually "know" Pray from the TTCAL boards.

Thanks, Pray, for getting this going!View Thread

I'll give you my experience and see if it sheds any light for you.
My DH and I will be ttc for 6 years in August. After the loss of our son, Jude, we wanted a family but were afraid to get pregnant once again only to suffer another loss. So, we decided to adopt but we didn't come to that conclusion lightly. I didn't understand how it would be possible to love an adopted child like I loved Jude. I mean, an adopted child is just that, adopted, and not from my womb. Could I in fact love an adopted child the way he/she deserves? In February 2010 we got the most beautiful baby boy in the entire world. We named him Gabriel. The minute I laid eyes on him I forgot that he was adopted. I know it sounds odd but there were times that I forgot that I hadn't actually given birth to him. He is now 16 months old and is exactly like us (sometimes that is a bad thing since he has our attitudes!!
) We are still ttc b/c we want him to have a little baby brother or sister to love.Now, having said all that, it doesn't mean that adoption is right for you. It isn't right for everyone. It doesn't make you a bad person b/c you don't know if you can handle adoption. It actually makes you a better person knowing who you are and what you yourself can handle.
GL in whatever you decide and keep us posted.
Oh...and Pray--I've never had anyone say this to me but believe me, I would have a response to that, and I don't think the person saying it would ever think that again (or at least they wouldn't want to say it out loud again!!)
