Re: AdoptionFrom: Smed (anonymous@obgyn.net)Wed, 8 Nov 2000 14:16:30 -0600 (CST)
I am usually the happy one here, but I am speaking from someone who went the adoption route and lost, before I was finally diagnosed with PCOS. Unfortunately, just a few weeks before the babies birth, the mother changed her mind. We had known about the baby since the 2nd month. Well actually we found out later she never planned on giving the baby up, but I live in Florida and she is in Indiana and she wanted to come to Florida because she was never here before. So she used us to get a free trip, then changed her mind. I had the whole nursery setup, all of the stuff bought, and still have a dresser full of clothes. I have a crib stored under my bed because there was no where else to put it, the mattress is standing in a corner of oneof the closets. The stuffed animals and things people sent or gave me are stacked in the closet, collecting dust. I am a Winnie the Pooh lover and everything was going to be pooh in the nursery. I have a newborn sleeper that I bought, the first outfit I bought, it is white with a little pooh over the heart. Sometimes I pull this out and just let the tears come. I am not trying to burst your bubble, I am sure a high percentage of the adoptions go well. But I also like everyone to know that there is not only the devestation of infertility, but try the devestation of loosing your child to an unfit mother at the last second, we recently found out that the child was removed to the state of Indiana because of unfit conditions. That is what I viewed him as, my child, my son. It was a boy by the way. One more thought, I know adoption is probably a big issue for women suffering with infertility, as many PCOS sufferers do, but we need to remember that this is a PCOS support board and try to keep the topics within those lines as much as possible. Sometimes it is nice to cruise off of topic once in a while but it can also cause trouble if we do it too often. On that note I did contact many adoption agency's in my searches, I found some very nice ones for overseas adoptions, but this is pretty expensive. If anyone would like to email me with questions please feel free to do so. TTFN
