I have never written a blog before. I read a lot of them and always thought it would be fun to do if an interesting topic came to mind. I have debated writing about my adventures with Gem, but every horse blog I read always ends in a hurt horse and tears. I am not a superstitious person, but those odds seem to work against that idea.
Then we began this endeavor and the more I researched the more I realized that I knew nothing about adoption. I figured then that most people who have never been through the process or close to someone who has wouldn't understand everything. There are a lot of misconceptions and myths floating around about adoption and when we bring our baby home it would be easier if we were all on the same page. I also figured that Dusty and I could use all the support we could get and that this would be the easiest way to do that.
Please feel free to comment and ask any questions along the way. I have spent countless hours researching everything I could and I think Dusty's ears are bleeding from hearing me talk about it over and over and over again. A fresh victim would be great :) My next post will cover some of the back story that brought us to this decision. We are just now beginning and there will be a lot of information to share. We are very excited and anxious and are happy to have you along!!
Sara, You could print these out and keep them to give to the baby when he/she is older. How loved and wanted that would make the baby feel!
ReplyDeleteNancy - that is a good idea. I had not thought of that.
DeleteI'll be thinking of you guys. Your husband was a dear friend in vet school. It sounds as though you guys are on a path similar to that of my husband and myself. For now, we've opted to pursue IVF later this year. I wish you the best of luck with adding to your family. It's always been clear from his posts on Facebook how much Dusty adores you
ReplyDeleteCool idea. Good luck with the process.
