Chris and I got married nearly 10 years ago, and we are just finally on the verge of starting our family. It seems funny to think that it's been so long. Once we got settled with our own home and I finished my master's degree, we figured we'd just get pregnant. Well, needless to say, that didn't exactly happen. After a multitude of tests, we found out that we have unexplained infertility. On one hand, it's nice to know that there's nothing "wrong" with either of us. On the other hand, we still don't know WHY this won't happen for us. We came to realize that how our child comes to us is not what is most important. What we really want is to be parents.
We explored adoption, both international and domestic. We chose domestic mostly because we would really like a newborn. We chose our agency and began our paperwork at the very end of July 2007. We were homestudy ready by September 23rd. Then we settled in to wait... and wait... and wait.
