Private adoption success story

OH, THANKYOU!!!! I WILL DO.

I SEE AT THE BOTTOM OF YOUR PROFILE THINGIE, YOU HAVE ME:30 DH: 31 ETC ETC. HOW DO YOU DO THAT??? I ALSO HAVE PCOS & INSULIN RESISTANCE. SEEMS FAIRLY COMMON!!!

YOUR PIC SHOWS A LITTLE ONE, SO DO YOU HAVE 1 CHILD ALREADY??
SORRY ALL THE QUESTIONS BUT NEW ON THIS WEBSITE!!!

If you go into your profile... it is the eighth purple heading on the top of the page. Click on signature and you can add your details there.

Since joining this forum over a year ago I have also established that PCOS is quite common. It must have something to do with our lifestyle and stress levels because it is more frequent now than in the old days. Unless they just never knew about it.

No worries about all the questions. That is how we get to know one another.

I don't have my own child. The little boy in the picture is by nephew Keagan. He was born on 20 July 2009. He is a HUGE part of my life and at this stage the closest thing I have to my own. He is such a pleasure and I adore him.

My sister and her husband lived in London. I flew over for the birth to help my sister and her husband. 9 days after Keagan was born my sister's husband flew back to SA to attend his dad's funeral. After the funeral he himself was killed in a car accident. My sister has since moved back to SA with Keagan and lives with my parents during the week and with my husband and I on weekends. It has been such a joy having in my home even though the circumstances have been very sad and tough.

I wanted to ask but did not want to pry. Had you been trying to conceive and looking at adopting or did you adopt due to the circumstances that you mentioned?

Oh gosh!!! How tragic! My friends sister also lost her husband tragically so I understand your loss!!!! Ive also emailed you as I couldnt see my reply!!! So you will see the same questions on my email!! Sorry!! Nice that you get to spend so much time with your nephew, and I feel your inner pain for wanting one of your own. Its a yearning that only people in our situation feel. I still want to go through the whole pregnancy, birth thing!!

Well, My hubby and i have been trying to conceive on and off (as we became very dis-illusioned at times) for about 8 years!!!! We had only just started all the blood, sperm tests etc and I was about to go for the investigative operation so we could try AI. Was booked into the theatre and everything, and then we were approached by the biological parents of the twins. (Who worked for our father) about the adoption, so put the whiole fertility thing on hold and went ahead with the adoption.

Im now wanting to start the fertility thing again!!!! Shew. Still thinking about it a bit though!!! Scary process hey!

I agree. It is great having him but I would still like to experience the whole thing myself.

8 years... long time. I never thought I would even have to wait 3 years. Amazing how time flies.

Thanks so much! They are. My sister and I still pinch ourselves sometimes to make sure we are not dreaming!!!

Stacy. Your story gives me hope for my adoption process situation (one day)

Hi Stacy

Lovely story I am so glad you could adopt both girls into the same family. Good luck with the TTC it is scary but much better than wondering why you. Also it is great to have a plan of Action makes you feel like you can do something about it.

Its inspiring to hear of your success. Its a path i might consider in the future. May the twins bring u immeasurable joy.
