Good Morning Girls,
we have thought alot about adoption - however my husbands age plays a huge part - alot of countries especially Australia will not even look at you when your husband is over 45 - they say he is the main bread winner blah blah blah blah blah! Also hugely expensive - but then again if i added up how much we have spent on IVF we could possible have a couple of adopted kids by now. I too wish we had of started IVF much sooner - but life gets in the way sometimes, broken marriages in early thirties, then nursing my dad and auntie at the same time both of them had terminal lung cancer- moving states etc etc etc - also my DH at first did not want any kids, he has two by previous marriage and did not want anymore - i waited till he came around (long time) and now he is in 110% but feel sometimes its all just bad timing with our ages etc. Hey but who knows we could get lucky and whilst there is the slightest bit of hope I'm in for the long haul - and like i said before I might just get one of those donor embies - donor embies usually come from a much younger couple and its like adoption in my eyes but just one step closer. The world is full of surprises and i just know if we all try hard enough and keep at it it will all pay off ( trying to use positive thinking here) i really do beleive that if you believe it can happen it usually does - eventually. I too don't look at us as old old but you know what its like when you go the doctors and they give you all that negative talk about age blah blah blah - you know we all know what we are up against - we don't need people with negative vibes especially doctors - what we need is inspiration and strength - anyway long post i know - off to Coff Harbour to pick up IVF drugs etc and then off to the dentist EEK! Hate the dentist but must be done before IVF cycle begins next week- have a really good day girls and i will be thinking of all of you.
