Thanks, btw!<br /><br />I really enjoyed reading about your adoption agency adventures and found myself vicariously in your place. We are coming to a point (within the next few months) of deciding between IVF and adoption. I've got POF so IVF won't be a 'gaurantee' at all. <br /><br />Geesh! It's so much to think about, isn't it? I wish it could be a blindingly easy for us as all those pregnant by accident 16 year olds out there.<br /><br />EveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4444495363669207482.post-74794242437583496892009-04-24T09:32:00.000-07:002009-04-24T09:32:00.000-07:00First thank you for commenting on my blog.

You capture my attention and make me want to continue to read. <br /><br />I'm wishing you all the best with your adoption journey.

Though then again maybe that's why they weren't picked because as much as I love them, they are sort of opinionated about being apple pie. <br /><br />We have put out feelers on the adoption thing and the second guessing is very nerve-wracking.<br /><br />Good luck. I like the way you sum up these meetings. It's a great resource for those of us who are getting a toe wet with this adoption thing.Frauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09214380775773932745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4444495363669207482.post-68914225578105058762009-04-23T08:12:00.000-07:002009-04-23T08:12:00.000-07:00One of the things that scares me about adoption is...One of the things that scares me about adoption is the idea that we won't get chosen for some weird reason-like that we have cats and not a dog.

I had to come over here and read a few of your postings. <br /><br />First of all, you made a wonderful tribute to your Dad, and I'm sure he's very proud of you. <br /><br />Also, I'm excited to see how your venture into adoption progresses.

The sense of desperation we all carry is frightening at times. I like that this agency was more positive about same sex couples. I agree with Kimi that I am learning alot from you. When you choose an agency you will need to have a good picture made where you look nice and down to earth, have your dogs with you and seem completely responsible (maybe glasses and a granny bun). :)<br /><br />Good stuff! But I must admit that the straight couple with good eggs would have been hard to pass up.cindyhoo2https://www.blogger.com/profile/00270674009271182588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4444495363669207482.post-11982424235270156362009-04-17T21:50:00.000-07:002009-04-17T21:50:00.000-07:00hmmm...

I guess there is no way of telling that, but at least an "average" rather than extremes might have been helpful. <br /><br />I am glad you had a familiar face show up, especially since it was unexpected. I am sure it made the meeting more comforting. Although, it would be hard to sit in that room and not view all those other couples as your competition, vying for the same prize... <br /><br />Thanks for sharing all this, I feel like I am learning a lot through you!Kimi723https://www.blogger.com/profile/10042148856428290164noreply@blogger.com
