I had a very difficult pregnancy and birth with my first and only son (he'll be 6 in Sept). It's been over 2 years that my husband and I have decided to try for another depsite the high risks invoving my health and even life. NOthing has happened, and I have not become pregnant eventhough I became pregnant with my first almost instantly (when we started to try). I have accepted that I won't have anymore children (in a way). I have recently become interested in pursuing adoption. I really want my son to have a sibling. My husband and I have also thought about adopting a child anywhere up to 2-3 years old ( a small baby isn't necessary). I feel that this is something that is "meant" for us to pursue. I have been a part of this group for a long while now and really appreciate all the advice and love you all have given to me and everyone. I really value your opinions and would greatly appreciate your feedback on what you think. Or if perhaps any of you have either been adopted or have adopted, if you wish to share your experiences. Thanks, Martine |

Martine, I think adoption is a wonderful thing. There are so many children out there that need/want a loving, stable family to call their own. I'm sure that you will be able to provide that and so much more to a child. The only experience I've had with adoption is when I was 18. I got pregnant at 18 and gave the baby up for adoption. The father and I were too young to look after a child and that was the best thing for everyone. He and I broke up before the baby was born (my doing). So, I'm in total agreement with adoption. You go girl!! I wish you and your husband all the best with your decision. I'm sure that God will connect you with the right child  . Hugs, Wheezie |

I think that is a beautiful and self-less thing you did Wheezie. I can only imagine how difficult it is for someone to make that choice. Thank you for sharing your story and your encouragement! Martine |

Especially the older babies as you mentioned............what a lovely thought for you to bring one into your family. Love jadie xoxoxo |

Thank you all for your support... If I fell pregnant, oh well...then i'll just have a bigger family! What ever happens, happens for a reson. If I fall pregant after I adopt, then it just means that I was meant to have both and spirits way of assuring I adopt is by making certain I get prgant after the fact!!!lol We'll see! Martine |

Hun I think it's a great idea. The whole time I was reading your post, all I kept seeing was a little girl, 18months/2yrs old. Short very light soft brown hair, in a pink and white pretty dress. A real sweetie, cute as a button. Is this a child around you now? Or maybe to come ? Also, have you been having thoughts about maybe addopting a foreign child? I wish you both the very best, love to you and your growing family Love Silver xxxx |

Well, we are very open minded. We believe that we have a bette chance with foreign adoption and actually my husband is more in favor of international adoption. I really don't mind either or (domestic or international). A little girl would be nice as I alreayd have a beautiful boy. Thanks for you post. Martine |
