Having struggled with infertility for years and being blessed with a
beautiful son, I would say I agree with Josie. It is not easy to adopt
so if you get a chance, take it. You can still continue to try to have
another child with the Clomid. My husband and I are getting ready to
start the paperwork to adopt and will love the next one as much as the
one we have now! I am blessed to have 2 mothers, the one who gave birth
to me and died when I was 11 and the one who raised me from 15 on. I
love the both of them very much and my 2nd mother (hate the word
step-mother) treats my son as good as she treats her blood
grandchildren. And think of this, that baby needs a good home.
