Or if there was any end in sight for my adoption wait. The door on any chance of ever becoming pregnant is closing. Now I need to rely on a birth mother choosing me, which feels like something that will never happen. I think this is just as much about me losing faith that my time will come.Three Cats and a Babyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16757969648902689785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3923391970801545914.post-88716610228841034362009-12-06T13:45:42.916-05:002009-12-06T13:45:42.916-05:00Lisa, I'm glad you posted this follow-up, I wa...Lisa, I'm glad you posted this follow-up, I was going to make a comment on the previous post along the same lines of what you posted here but I was afraid of seeming insensitive to what you're going through...I never had any desire to get pregnant so I don't really know what you are feeling about this, but I'm glad you have support and can recognize the cycle of grief so you don't get stuck in it.InventingLizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08882590455596544329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3923391970801545914.post-64925485887190265192009-12-04T12:54:14.074-05:002009-12-04T12:54:14.074-05:00I can only imagine what you are going through.

I have to be on hardcore pain meds to be able to even TTC and I just hate it, but I'm dealing. You will get your child by adopting, I was adopted, (by my grandparents) and they are my Mother and Father also. I have 2 Moms and 2 Dads, it's awesome. My grandparents call me Daughter, and told me they love us as their own child, not their grand kids. So you will love that child as if it was your bio child. Hang in there sweetheart, I know it's tough, but you are strong and can handle ANYTHING!! And I'm almost here for you, no matter what.

In a pre-IVF workup this Spring I was diagnosed w endometrial cancer, so I kindof know what you're going though, especially w the finality of a hysterectomy (I had that surgery a month ago today).<br /><br />I was able to have an IVF cycle where we froze all embryos before the surgery -- just something to keep in mind, it does give you an option to have your own genetic offspring (although you'd need a gestational carrier/surrogate for pregnancy). None of the options are easy, I know. <br /><br />I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who cycles through all the stages of grief again & again...Round (sarah)http://www.3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/round/noreply@blogger.com
