Hi Becky,

The snow has thawed now but it is still really cold. I know that some parts of the states are real warm at the moment. We have to wait for that here. Hopefully we will have a warmer summer this year.

It can't be easy for you at the moment, it is still hard to let go in our minds of what we may of had, or what we might be able to have. Infertility is always something pending, full of maybe's or maybe nots...... keeping yourself involved is good though I know you can still feel an emptiness inside. My husbands cousin is to have her second child in March and I find that hard as my mother in law rings me with the good news and i do not feel as happy as her. I feel really selfish at times when i feel like that, but i cannot help the way my feelings are at times.

You are an amazing person Becky, you have given so much love and support to your adoptive children and now the next generation begins, they will all love you. You have put love where none was felt before, that is a gift as not many people can truly express a feeling of real love.

:D keep in touch, take care love Jjj x

i dont know when i first started looking it was just for foster kids.
then when i got to infants i clicked on a coule of them and asked for info.. i had really started to get my hopes up..

thinking maybe this is what i should be doing..
all these babies are in orphanges.
it started off ok about 4,000 then it went up to attorney fees and that was 15,000 to 19,000
when i e-mailed the place they e-mailed me back saying it is about 25,000 to 30,000
is it that much over there?
if so then i can see why there is so many babies there..
its just very sad.. i could do another ivf for 30,000.
:x

:D Hi Becky, some people like to make money out of infertility. I remember when I was looking on some of the the donor sites the $£ just kept mounting up for different things. But I always find the need to look, it does no harm, I always like to be informed. When I was in the states I read an article which was also featured on news9 about an organisation called Snowflakes. Have you heard of it? Basically it was formed a few years ago and it has available embryos to adopt which would otherwise have been destroyed. Not sure of their website but I keyed in snowflakes donor embryo usa and it led me to some info. I haven't read it in detail but I think it is genuine. Hope that is some help Becky, Jjj x

thank you..

but even before i could do an ivf i need to lose alot of weight, and i neeed to come up with the money for a surgery.. they want to take a skin graff and sew me up then do an ivf treatment.. ...
that why our baby couldnt come out again..

then we need to come up with the money for ivf all over again..

glad to see you back..
you have been on my mind
