So hubby made the calls today to see who the insurance recommends for an RE and how much they could help out. It looks like the insurance will pay up to $10K total/ lifetime toward treatments and up to $5k for fertility drugs. Now I just have to see if we have already used any of that. I am hoping not, we have paid for most out of pocket to my knowledge. So that should at least cover to get my eggs checked and a series of IVF treatments. Now I just have to find the Dr. I like in network.

Ok so here it goes. My neighboor is dead set on adopting thsi baby I have told her time and time again That I will be going through an adoption agenciy. In fact I have one already picked out. She already has two kids and I want to give this baby to a family that does not have any children. I kninda want this to be there miricale baby. Is this wrong of me? She is constantly making me feel like a bad mom. Because I was in a domestic violence situation and the police were called on many occasions and in the state that I live it is required by law to report to DHS in a domestic violence situation. This is part of the reson I am giving this baby up for adoption. The abuser no longer lives here but I just dont need the added stress. Social Services nevercame to check anything out or even called. I just figured it was because I made the right step in calling and having him removed and not having him back or near my kids at all is why they did not interfear. Well I told her they had bigger fish to fry. And she said no its because you are so darn lucky lots of women have them called on them and get there kids taken away. So I am lucky mine arnt gone as well. I told her that was awful rude. And that the baby was not going to her. She said but mom is going to take you to your appontiments because I have no way of getting to them I live in a very small town there is nothing here but a conner store a bar and a bank. She said my mom can take you to your appontiments but no where elese no grog=crie shopping or anything. Well the agency is willing to help with this expensie and possiably help me relocate. I am not the type to be rude so I answer my door and phone. Today she came over and said ahe wanted me to come to her daughters bday party and I said probably not her daughter is like 13 anyways my kids are 3 and 10mo. explain how that makes sense. Then she looked at my daughter and said you want to come to a bday party and got mydaughter all excited and left. Now my daughter wants to go and I dont really feel comfortable with it. I am sick of her pushy ways. Please how do I tell my neighboor to please stay away.

Thankyou for all of your support it means so much to me! I was going through my adoption paper work today and found this poem the authour is unknown but it brought tears to my eyes as it is the truth and yets gives me so much hope and faith in that I am doing the right thing! Once there were two women who never knew each other ... One you do not remember, the other you call mother. Two different lives, shaped to make Your one ... One became your guiding star, the other became your sun. The first gave you life and the second taught you to live it. The first gave you a need for love, and the second was there to give it. One gave you a nationality, the other gave you a name. One gave you a seed of talent, the other gave you aim. One gave you emotions, the other calmed your fears. One saw your first sweet smile, the other dried your tears. One gave you up ... that's all she could do. The other prayed for a child and God led her straight to you. And now you ask me, through your fears, The age old question unanswered throughout years... Heredity or environment ... Which are you the product of. Neither, my darling ... neither ... Just two different kinds of love. Once again thanks for your support. Every little bit helps! Sending blessings your way!

Butterfly, I think adoption is a wonderful thing to do. I was adopted and am so happy that my birthmother gave me the opportunity to have a life she may not have been able to provide me with. You have to do what is best for you and the baby and if giving him or her up for adoption is it then do not let anyone make you feel bad about the decision! I wish you the best!

Butterflymom - It is such an amazing and unselfish thing to do. Don't let anyone make you feel bad. If you realize that this baby can have a better life with another family and you are willing to give him/her that chance at a better life, then you are amazing!

I am giving my baby up for adoption. This is my third baby and I am the single mom to a three and 10 month old. I know that I can not hanndle a third child at this time. And I want the baby to have a good life one that I can not provide the baby with this life. And I have two other children to think about. It is hard to find support in what I am doing. I dont have alot of family really none my only family is my grandmother who if she found out I was pregnat again would cut me and my kids off. I have one freind who lives far away from me and she has saids some awful things about adoption and makes me feel like horrible for doing this. Any support helps!

i knew from being 5 months prego and not having the dad involved and in fact just finding out yesterday that he got married for the 2nd time while i will still prego hurts. but it wasnt like i tried to raise the baby then give up, he was adopted at birth, Bo's new mommy and i actually shared a room in the hospital while i was recovering and we both took care of Bo, mainly she did because i wanted him to bond with her more. but it was a wonderful experience. and to make matters even more interesting i was also adopted at birth. hope this helped answer your question

hey all you couples trying to adopt i totally forgot there was an adoption part on this site.. anyways... i'm a birth mom that just had a baby and gave him up, well i feel i gave him more... through adoption. his name is Bo, and he is perfect in everyway. and the adopting parents are amazing too! i wrote my story under my blogs called 'what happend to baby Bo' i have been told that some couples are actually afraid of birthmom's. but there is no reason to be. i could have never given baby Bo the things he needed in life... and actually in a way... i gave Bo 3 things he needed most in his life... i gave him life... and i gave him a mommy and daddy that are ready to be parents and will give him so much love and the fact that i am a part of his life just makes everything more wonderful. if you have any questions for me, like was my choice hard to make, or how did i find Bo's new parents, or what agency i went through go ahead an ask. and if you would like to read my little blog on 'what happened to Bo' go ahead im sure you will find it inspiring as you start your journey to complete your own family :) http://www.i-am-pregnant.com/vip-blog/cutiedoll676/1226096251

I just read the most beautiful unselfish story on adoption. A girl on my friends network gave birth and I read her birth story, then today she posted another blog about what happened to Baby Bo? I was brought to tears w/this amazing act of unselfishness and love for her son more than her self. She is only 20 yrs. old. Wow, that speaks volumes on her character and the love she has brought to a family that otherwise would never be able to be parents.

My husband and I are looking to adopt. We both have so many questions and are just lost at where to even begin. It's something that we both want more than anything. I recently had my tubes tied in March after giving birth to our fourth son. It was a rash decision, one that I regretted immediately afterwards and now my heart is just breaking, I want another child so badly. We have discussed a reversal and even IVF but I really would love to adopt, give a child a happy home and all my love. I just don't know where to begin :( Any advice?
