Stop this ride, I want to get off! Getting off the infertility rollercoaster and new adventures in adoption. Wednesday, September 28, 2005. I guess it wasn't AF after all. It's been almost 9 weeks since my D&C, and the Witch has yet to rear her ugly head. I haven't had a period since the end of May, and it's been kind of nice. I had some spotting start on Sunday and figured it was finally time, but it was very little, and old brown blood. Less blood than I had in my early pregnancy spotting. We didn't wa...

Thursday, December 22, 2005. Our first home study interviews are scheduled! Um, hello, how am I supposed to make contact? We have our individual interviews scheduled for Wednesday, December 28th, and she even likes dogs. And she agreed to come to Clear Lake, which saves us a trip into town at rush hour. Infertilit...

I don't even know what I was watching or doing, but I suddenly wanted to capture this story. I passed with flying colors, chose my Hebrew name of Hadassah, and off we went to the mikveh. Attendant one day in August for a group of converts. You figured it out, she was my mikveh. Lady We later confirmed this with the rabbi who led my conversion. Posted by Mel @ 9:23 PM.

Waiting sucks, but at least we know there is a baby at the end of the waiting. I feel like my whole life has been one big long wait to be a mother. Why of course. And it doesn't help that I would have been giving birth in about 4 weeks myself, if things hadn't turned out the way they did. Posted by Mel @ 9:50 AM. Posted by David @ 8:24 AM.

Stop this ride, I want to get off! Getting off the infertility rollercoaster and new adventures in adoption. Wednesday, August 31, 2005. First PRIDE class is finished! So we're driving along to our appointment last night, and my husband, the man who has been ready to quit treatment for months now, says he thinks we should pursue the adoption as one path, but keep our other paths open. The loss of the genetic connection is finally starting to hit him. And who can blame him? Posted by Mel @ 7:49 AM. In gen...

Stop this ride, I want to get off! Getting off the infertility rollercoaster and new adventures in adoption. Tuesday, February 28, 2006. A big shout out to women who are willing to give babies up for adoption. Idiotic comment #whatever from my mom:. I just don't understand how someone can carry a baby for nine months and then give it up for adoption.". We also got to have lunch with one of my other Dork sisters, who is picking up her Korean son today in Detroit. Lots of good news in Dorkland recently...

The shots are kind of dark because our camera died and I had to use the camcorder. All the fish were from a stencil set, but I had to do the seaweed myself. I printed out some photos of seaweed stencils and just kind of winged it. I think it came out pretty good. Below are some closer shots of the details. Posted by Mel @ 9:21 AM.

I just spoke with the social worker, and this is not going to be our baby. It turns out they were off an entire month on her due date, and that confirms that her ex-boyfriend is the father of the baby. So she is going to keep the baby since s/he has a full biological sibling as well. Posted by Mel @ 1:08 PM. Hip Hop and the "N' Word. The world works ...
