Struggles with Infertility

Being a parent is not something that everyone has as a goal in life. But once you decide that you want to be a parent, and you are unable to, your life can either unravel, or you can try to find meaning in your struggles. This blog is me trying to find meaning.

Don’t give up on me

I started this blog on March 9, 2011, 10 days after our second IUI, and two years in to our infertility journey. It’s interesting to see how the number of posts increase and decrease over the years, in line with our treatments and failures. My last post was on August 5, 2017, when we were still trying to decide what our next steps are.

We have decided. We are pursuing private adoption. This has been a work in progress since the beginning of the year, and honestly, I have had limited energy to update this blog while we sorted out the nuts and bolts. We are finally here though, and next weekend we do our two day mandatory $1,200 information session as the first step. Our hopes are high - placement in our province usually happens within two years - but tempered due to all the failures we’ve had over the years.  We’ll take it as it comes, as we’ve learned to do over time.

Much more to come, but we’re still here, and we haven’t given up just yet.
