Blog Rules!

This blog…right now is a Public Blog. I don’t have a problem with a public blog, however please note: this is not a Public Forum. This is MY journey…not yours. Please do not:


1. Tell me that I can adopt.
2. Tell me that I would make a great foster parent.
3. Tell me about IVF, IUI, GIFT…

I know my options…Really I do. If I want your advice or want to know about your experience…I’ll read your blog.

I am at a place (in this journey) that it right for me and my family right now. When I am ready to move forward I will (with my family) make the best decision for us.

For some reason infertility is one of those topics that people just think they can give you advice about. For those of you not going through infertility…let me just tell you that giving fertility advice to someone…Especially saying things like “You can always adopt.” is kind of like saying to someone, “You know you could stand to lose a few pounds.”

Yes…Really. ..So quit doing it.

Everyone struggling with infertility knows about adoption…but that is not what we want. We want to make a baby TOGETHER that is OURS…part him and part me. I am not saying that adoption isn’t for me or isn’t creating a family or anything like that…It’s just not for me RIGHT NOW.

I could go on about each of the other scenarios, but that is not the point of this post. Really, everyone is welcome to read. I just ask that you respect this blog and understand that this is My journey, My feelings, My experience.

If you are struggling yourself with infertility, I would love to hear your story too. I have said before that infertility is lonely and I welcome anyone going through this same thing to get in touch with me (by email or post your blog link in a comment to me).

Thank you.
