Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to introduce myself as I'm new here.

I'm Kim (34) My husband is David (34) We are in Victoria

At the end of this year we will have been married for 12 years and we have been trying that long to start a family.

I have PCOS, and only one tube which is completely blocked ( I only have the one due to the removal of the other in 1992 when I had an Ectopic pregnancy in which my tube actually burst )

We did IVF around 7 years ago with no success, we then looked into surrogacy and for the last 2 years were on the Intercountry Adoption program (applying for China) and had got to the point of being ready to get a social worker, then had to stop due to the costs being just too much for us.

So we are looking into Local Adoption now and went to an information session on Monday the 5th February and sent back the papers the next day asking to continue and be invited to the training sessions.

Hopefully we will hear something back soon.

We have a nursery set up already because of how long we have been working towards making our family, so I'm hoping that we will eventually get to use it.

Kindest Regards,
Kim
