Pregnant-via-adoption

Morning sickness. Heh. It fits. I do feel a bit queasy about the whole thing. :-)

It's funny, on the miscarriage forum yesterday we were talking about this. There are only a few of us left that haven't gotten pregnant since our miscarriages. Now that I've mentally made the switch to adoption, I was explaining that I'm rather glad for it.

At my age (42), along with there being a less than 1% chance per cycle I'd conceive, there's a 50% miscarriage rate. I'm more comfortable on the adoption path than I ever was on the infertility treatment path. I felt like I was doing it for my dh, not because I really wanted to. At the end, my RE was pushing donor eggs as my only chance. Um, no thanks!

Anyway, I posted over there yesterday that it's reasonable to think that I might be "pregnant-by-adoption" now. There could be a Guatemalan woman that's carrying my baby boy right now and I'll be meeting him in eight months or so. I'm just so excited about that. And as an added bonus, I don't have to deal with the miscarriage terror.
