Finally some news.

D and I were talking about the future and how we're going to grow our family (which isn't an odd conversation it's the top of most of our conversations) I'm still not really excited about not being able to give birth to a child or at least have the chance to try.

It actually is one of the hardest things for us because we never really had a chance to "try" and before we move on to adoption we want that chance.

But between finances and outstanding medical bills trying to find a way to find another $15/20k for IVF is out of the question and if we need to use donor eggs we're talking $20/30k.

A while back I was searching trying to figure out a way to try it and thanks to google I was searching and found IVF traditional and with donor eggs done in the Czech Republic pretty inexpensively.
We talked it out and we're going to try give this a try with donor eggs, since we're literally putting all of our eggs in one basket we want to give us the best chance of actually conceiving. It's still going to be a lot of money to save so we talked about some kind fundraiser and maybe a few tag sales to declutter and raise some cash. I've also opened a store for knitting to try to raise some cash.

The thing that really brought this on is we talked to the State and the local DCF office is backed up and one of the social workers called to tell me that. She asked me a few questions and we talked for about 20 minutes. It was actually pretty informative but we're still kind of stuck with the fact that we didn't get that chance and while we're still working on the process we want to find a way to give birth to a child.

I know I may sound a little crazy, but IF does that, especially when you can't have the only thing in the world that you want.
