Hi everyone,

First of all - it is GREAT to see a forum that has a section for adoption .. my usual haunt doens't - and would only consider the possibility of a new section if there was enough interest ..

A bit of history on us ...

DH and I have been doing OI with IUI and IVF for the past 4 years this coming March 09 .. it's been a very long road with NO pregnancy at all

This year has been very hard on us because our 3rd IVF was cancelled in April - due to EST 22,000 and my left ovary missing .. In May I had lap/hyst surgery and discovered that my left tube is completely blocked, no endo - but my left ovary is sitting very high - why ? they have no idea .. so now for IVF i need lap surgery to get to my left ovary ..

I hyperstimulate EVERY damn cycle - so therefore we never get a FRESH transfer - our beautiful babies are always frozen ..

The past few months I"ve been very depressed - cry at the drop of a hat - and am just finding it harder and harder to deal with a BFN cycle after cycle .. I can't even congratulate friends now - and that's not like me at all ..

The past few weeks DH and I have been discussing ADOPTION .. I've looked into it and the EOI (expression of interest) close 31st October 2009 .. Fee: $ 62 (i think) .. assessement fee: $ 500 (under) ..

Is there anyone here in Queensland who are going through the process that could help us ? .. give us an idea of what we'll be heading into .. etc ..

we're still in 2 frames of minds - try IVF one more time - but then that could be wasted time when we could be starting the adoption process ..

If you are going through the process now - I'd love to hear you ..

many thanks in advance ....
