If you follow me on twitter you will have noticed a few tweets where I mention adoption. That’s right, folks, this journey has an official plan again.
I posted awhile ago about my blood work, and infertility treatments, and the success rates, and the option of adoption. Well after some soul searching, we’ve committed to adoption. This is our path. I was meant to be a mother, just not in the regular sense. B and I have done a lot of research. We’ve gotten our list down to three places. There’s a place right here in Medina, one in Columbus that my cousin went through, and then through Summit County. One of them (Summit County) is foster to adopt only. I’m not sure how that all works, so we are going to go and learn more before we commit. Its going to take a lot of support, patience and money to get through this, but we can do it.
I will be starting a totally separate blog for it, so that the agency can use it without exposing too much personal information about us. I will post the link when its ready. I appreciate all the kind words and support you guys have offered for us, its a long journey, were going to keep needing it!
Also – I will be doing a raffle of sorts in the near future to try and raise money. I already have one person who volunteered her services to be raffled off. I might be reaching out to a few people to see if you’d be interested. The new blog will include information for cost and where the money is going, etc. So as soon as it’s ready, I will post the information here.
I'm a 30-something yoga-lovin', tea-drinkin' high school teacher struggling to find my place in this crazy world. My blog focuses on my journey to lose weight, get healthy, and our attempts to become a family of three. I spend a lot of time exploring and embracing Akron, often photo-documenting my trips. Everything else is just the glitter in my life that adds to who I am.

I wanted to pop over to say CONGRATS on the new journey. I read about it when you first posted, but never can remember to sit down at a real computer to make comments. You’re going to be an awesome Mom!
