Hi guys-
What a great idea this board is!
:cheer:
Well, here's me...
We have one biological daughter, one adopted from Guatemala...miscarriage in between the two of those and severe PPD with dd#1 and the little one I lost.
Now, we are in process to adopt from China and it is taking MUCH longer than we thought. MUCh longer.
Recently dh and I decided that we would like to try for one more biological baby. We cant start until our baby from China comes home (she will be about 1 yr old probabbly when she comes home)...but we are going to try as soon as she gets settled in to our home.
In the meantime I am going to try getting off some of my medications that are not tremendously safe for pregnancy. I am going to my OB on Monday to talk about this and the risk of another miscarriage (it was discovered that I have fibroids during my last pg)...
Anyway...I am really nervous but tremendously excited about having another baby, maybe...
Hope to get to know all of you alot better!

Hey Kelly!!! I know you ;)
I really wasn't sure how this board would go. If I would be the only here most of the time. I am so glad you posted!!
Again I am sorry that that you had a miscarraige. :( I have friends who have had miscarraiges and it really is something that is hard to go through.
I too will be checking in to see how things are going with you. I was on the chlomid and whew...it has some side effects that it seemed like I reacted to. Like blurred vision, hot flashes, irritability. Well you will see ;)
Anyway, I will also be praying for you too and please Kelly check in from time to time and let us know how you are doing!!! :) Let us know how it went Monday.

Hi Kelly! We adopted our daughter from Guatemala last year! We are now ttc, but without medical help for a while. Meanwhile we have just started talking about where we might adopt from next. I fostered in Guatemala and I dont think I will be able to do that again, so we have decided to adopt from another country. It sounds like your experience with China has been very different that with Guatemala.Best of luck on ttc and cant wait to hear your progress on your adoption!
Thanks for the welcome ladies-
Yes, the China process has been much different. Much LONGER..... :(
But strangely I am not nearly as stressed out as I was with Marissa's adoption, because I know that the child to come to us is meant for my family....learned this with little Marissa's arrival. And I think the extra waiting has given me the chance to decide that I really am ready to try having another biological child. So I am thankful for that.
Junipers mom...wow your Guat adoption went FAST! How awesome!!!!! Congrats and good luck with TTC "on your own"...
Shay, good luck to you too...so glad this forum was started!
I will be sure to post after my appointment tomorrow...I am really nervous about it.
Kelly, good luck with your adoption and TTC. It sounds like a good time to prepare yourself for both. I have other friends waiting for China and the wait just keeps getting longer. Hope things speed up for all of you soon! Best wishes for adding to your family and I look forward to getting to know you..

Back from the doctor...
Pretty uneventful actually...she let me know that I need to get off one of my two medications but that staying on one of them is probably okay. Which was a surprise, I thought she would tell me to get off of both!
She said everything looks great for me to start TTC after I get off the one med...explained to me that my risk for pretem labor is not high b/c although my with my dd I had preterm labor, she was not born preterm. And that there is no increased risk for miscarriage for me. All good news.
So, we'll see how the China program moves, (or doesnt move :( ) and go from there! Happy to have the green light from the doc!

Well, the China process...sighhhhhh...we are just waiting for referral...LID in Spetember 05.
I was expecting a referral in March. Now we have no clue when to expect it. At the earliest, June/July...and at the latest...????????who knows????? :confused:
Probably what will happen is that we will start TTC as soon as she comes home..if not a little before :o...my clock is ticking just a tiny bit.. ;)
She will be around a year old when she comes home (I think). So she and the next baby hopefully will be about 2 yrs apart...
We'll see...
