Surreal
It has started to really sink in that we may just be able to finally become parents. I realized it the other day when I asked poor Ed to get all of the baby stuff out of storage so that I could see what we had and figure out what we needed. As I was going through the bins, I realized that we have almost everything that we will need for this future child of ours. So many of our friends and family generously gave us gifts at the baby showers that we had a year and a half ago...we even found the thank you notes filled out and addressed, ready to be mailed out....those were the hardest things to find - they were all written from "Ed, Angie, and Gavin" so I wasn't able to bring myself to either send them out or rewrite them under the circumstances that we were in.
On a much happier note, this was the first time that looking at the baby items didn't evoke negative feelings...I was actually excited to go through the adorable items that we have! I see them now as items that are waiting to be used by this little miracle that will one day enter our lives rather than being "Gavin's things". I don't know if that makes sense, but my Aunt Kelly said it perfectly when she said that my heart has healed. I think that is true...it has healed!
It is so surreal to me that we may be able to finally use these adorable baby items! I looked at the baby carrier/car seat that we have and started to cry thinking about actually being able to put a baby into it! It is amazing to me that this is really happening, that we are just waiting for that miraculous phone call as I like to call it - a phone call that will either let us know that we have been chosen by a birthmom or that we have a child waiting for us! WOW - that is the most amazing thought!
As our fundraiser draws closer and closer, I am constantly thinking about how blessed we are to be surrounded by so much love and support! We couldn't do it without our friends and family and I am amazed by the amount of people willing to help us - it is touching, heart warming, and I am overwhelmed by an emotion that I don't even know how to put into words.... I guess it is like this:
How do you say thank you to a stranger who has generously donated their hard earned money so that we can become parents?
How do you say thank you to your family for all of the hard work, time, money, and effort that they have been putting forth to make this event happen and help you adopt a child?
How do you thank someone for praying for you, thinking of you, and encouraging you through this journey?
How do you thank your friends, family and even people that we don't know for giving up their time and donating money to attend a fundraiser to make our dreams come true?
I don't know the answer to that and I don't know that anyone could ever understand how deeply touched we both are by the support that we have received and the love that has been shown towards us. I do know that we couldn't do it without all of these wonderful people. Thank you for caring about us, for loving us, for your generosity, for your kindness, and for helping us accomplish something that has seemed so impossible up until now!

Adoption
Ed and I are speechless and can't even begin to express our gratitude towards all of the amazing support and generosity that we have been shown since my family started organizing a fundraiser for us! I have been feeling so incredibly blessed by the wonderful comments, feedback, and e-mails that I have received, and am thankful for our family and friends and even people we have never met who have touched our lives.
In June, I was at my goddaughter's birthday party talking to her grandparents about the "next step". While going through fertility treatments, the "next step" is always in mind. I started to cry and told her that I don't know that there IS a next step. We had been through so much and were drained emotionally and financially! I told her that we would need $10,000 for another round of IVF, or about $20,000 for adoption and that neither of those would be possible without a miracle.
Once my doctor told us that IVF was not an option we started praying and talking about adoption and knew that the biggest hurdle was the amount of money that we would need to adopt. We were blessed to find an agency that is much cheaper than our previous agency, but there are still costs involved. With the fundraiser underway and so many people expressing their willingness to help, I wanted to make sure that I explained exactly how we will use the money towards adoption costs before the fundraiser:
Upon placement (when they place that miracle child into our arms to take home:) we need to hand over a check for $7,000 for what is called a "placement fee".
The birthmother is also entitled to $3,000 for "living expenses" which include things like rent payments, car payments, and other bills that the agency pays directly. We have to give the agency the money and they distribute it.
6 months after the baby is placed into our home, we have to go to court to finalize the adoption. At this time, we owe the adoption agency the remaining balance of $5,000 for the finalization fees.
These are the basic fees for adoption. Once we spoke with our social worker to get all of the information that we would need to proceed with the adoption process, we were informed that if there are complications at birth, if the birthmom doesn't have insurance, if there are any other fees for things that aren't covered by her insurance, or there are extra court fees due to paternity testing or other complications with the process, we are responsible for those expenses as well. The adoption agency told us to plan on saving up an additional $6,000 to cover any "unscheduled fees" and other costs because it is extremely rare (usually only with an identified adoption if at all) to have an adoption that does not require extra unscheduled fees to be paid.
On top of that, with an adoption, I am not allowed to work for 6 weeks. This is to help adoptive mothers bond with their infant. While this is amazing and I am looking forward to every single second of those 6 weeks, my work does not offer a paid maternity leave for a mother who is adopting. If I was having a baby, I would be able to take a paid maternity leave because I would be considered "disabled" and unable to work (thus being able to use my saved sick time) because I just gave birth to a baby and I would also be able to get supplemental income with my Aflac benefits. But, because this is an adoption, I will be unable to collect from either of those options and will be taking an unpaid leave which is hard because we rely heavily on my income to pay our bills. The other challenge is saving for adoption at the same time we are saving for a maternity leave. It is also crazy because it could literally happen at any time - there may be a lot of time to save or very little time before the baby comes which can be a bit scary. Most people have at least 7-8 months to prepare and they usually can predict when the baby will be coming (or at least to a certain extent) but with adoption they could literally call me any day now and tell me to come pick up our baby! WHOA!
Thankfully, Ed works for Progressive and they have a partial reimbursement program for adoptions. They will reimburse certain fees that are paid during the process. The hardest part about the reimbursement is that you can not apply for it until the adoption is finalized which is 6 months after you bring the baby home. We are thankful beyond belief for this amazing benefit!
All of the money that is raised for the adoption will go towards the adoption process. We have a separate account set up specifically for adoption funds and it is even in a different bank than our regular checking account. If there is any money that is left over after the adoption is complete, it will remain in the Key Bank account and will be used one day to expand our family further and will help with future adoption costs. The reimbursement money from Progressive will be used to cover any lingering costs and bills from the adoption process and my unpaid maternity leave.
I just wanted to make sure that I was upfront and honest about all of the fees and costs associated with this process so that everyone knows how we will be using the money and where it will be going. We are so thankful that many of you reading this blog have been touched by our story and the amount of love that we have felt has been overwhelming. I don't think I ever expected the feedback that we have received and I feel like our miracle is happening! Thank you for caring about us and for all of the positive thoughts and prayers that you are sending our way as we prepare for this little one who will one day be entering our lives:)

Tears
A lot of tears have been shed over infertility. Tears were shed at the first doctor's appointment when we were labeled "infertile" and were told that we would need to seek out interventions to help us become parents. Tears were shed when each of the IUIs didn't work. Many many many tears were shed when the adoption fell through. Tears were shed when the first IVF didn't work. Tears of joy streamed down my face when I found out I was pregnant only to be replaced with tears of "fear" as we learned that our pregnancy might not be viable and that the baby might not make it. Tears fell down our faces almost all day every day after we found out that our little miracle's heart had stopped beating.
But now, the tears that I have are tears of hope, joy, and gratitude for the amazing people in my life, their generosity, and the prospect that our child could be out there somewhere right now, growing and developing and waiting for us! What an amazing miracle adoption is! I have always felt that Jon and Brandi (my adopted brother and sister) were meant to be ours - that before they were even conceived, God meant them to be in our family and knew what He had to do to get them there. So, each day I think about the child who will someday be "ours" and the journey that we had to take to bring him/her home. I can't wait to tell our child about all of the twists and turns that we went through and all of the people that helped to make it happen.
My biggest fear about adoption is how our child will feel about being raised by adoptive parents rather than birth parents. I never want our child to feel unwanted or abandoned. I was talking to Jon about adoption and how he thinks the baby will feel about it and his response was:
"I think the baby will feel so special that God saved them for you. I know you and Ed are going to be good parents and that baby is going to feel like God loves them so much that He picked you to be his mom" WOW - does that make you cry or what!!!!
So, from now on we are shedding tears of joy and even as I sit here writing this, the tears that I have are no longer filled with hurt, anger, frustration, and sadness!

Adoption
We decided to switch our adoption agency from Adoption Circle to Cleveland Catholic Charities because of location and cost. Adoption Circle is in Columbus and Cleveland Catholic Charities is only 30 minutes away. Plus, they cost much less than Adoption Circle.
So, we transferred our homestudy to Cleveland Catholic Charities and finalized everything yesterday. We finished our profile to show to prospective birthparents, we had our fingerprints run again, and had letters sent out to our references. Now we wait to be chosen by a birthparent - it could take a month or two years - there is no way of knowing when it will happen.
The cost is the biggest fear for us right now. Our families have been extremely supportive throughout the past 5 years and are heartbroken for us! My Aunt Kim is a nurse and has given me the shots for the IVF attempts daily and has been my medical consultant throughout the journey. She suggested that we have a fund raiser to help with the costs of adoption. My mom, sister, and the rest of my family jumped on board - and with our family, all things are possible! My family is full of "do-ers" if something needs to get done, they find a way to do it! This usually applies to helping families at church, planning weddings, or making meals for people who need help, but they are also doing a great job of helping Ed and I become parents!
So, our fundraiser is scheduled for August 26th and we are feeling overwhelmed by the amount of people who have been so generous and helpful and want to helps us on this path to parenthood! It brings me to tears (good tears:) to think about how much love and support we have received from friends and family! Wow, we are truly surrounded by amazing people!
I have been praying for the birthmom that will be or is carrying our child. I have been praying for our child daily. I have been praying that God finds a way to bring the child that we are meant to have to us. Waiting has never been something that I'm very good at, but here we are playing the waiting game again!

Frozen Embryo Transfer
We had our frozen embryo transfer in June of 2012. The whole process is pretty interesting. They first shut down your body's control of your cycle with medication so that they can control it. Then you start progesterone injections (the worst part of the whole process) to prepare for the transfer. Then they thaw the embryos and use a tiny tube to transfer them into your uterus. You have to lay flat on your back for an hour or so afterwards and then you are free to go home. The aftercare is the same as it is for IVF - no lifting, exercise, swimming, etc. Sadly, we found out two weeks later that the FET didn't work and we scheduled an appointment to talk to the doctor about what he thought we should do next.
I will probably never forget that appointment. Ed and I went in and sat down in his office, and he explained that I have done three very invasive treatments in one year. He suggested that we take a break from treatments and give my body some time to rest. He said that we are a true case of unexplained infertility - they can't figure out exactly why we aren't able to get pregnant and have a healthy baby. He also said that after a couple of years, we can try IVF again.
Ed and I absolutely felt defeated after that meeting. We had invested so much time, energy, money, and many emotions into getting pregnant, and it was all for nothing. We have nothing to show for the thousands and thousands of dollars that have been put forth for this journey!
We then decided that since we already have our homestudy done from our previous attempts to adopt, that we should turn back to adoption before our homestudy expires and revisit IVF in the future if we want to.

Pregnancy
I guess I never actually updated after the 2nd IVF attempt in February 2012. I was overjoyed to see two, yes TWO pink lines on March 3, 2012. I then proceeded to take 7 more tests just to make sure it was real! My first beta count was 204, then the following beta a week later was 3,113. My levels were rising and everything was looking good! I had never felt so much joy in my life!
Then, we got some bad news. The baby was measuring behind schedule and at the first ultrasound they were unable to actually see the embryo. We were so nervous and scared and prayed a lot for this little miracle baby! We had waited 5 years to be pregnant, and I just wasn't ready to let that baby go!
The following ultrasound was much better, we saw the embryo moving around and saw his/her tiny heart beating. But, the doctor was still concerned that the baby was measuring smaller than they should. With IVF, we knew EXACTLY how old the embryo was so there was no way that we miscalculated it. I remember that ultrasound like it was yesterday - Ed and I sobbed with joy and relief as we saw our little baby's heart flickering!
The next week, I went in for more blood work and an ultrasound. My levels didn't go up as much as they should have and the ultrasound showed that the baby's heart had stopped beating. There is nothing that can prepare you for that moment - nothing that can make it feel better, nothing that can prepare you for the amount of love you already have for your unborn baby! I was 8 weeks and 5 days along when I had the D&C - four days after I found out that the baby's heart had stopped beating. I had another ultrasound just to confirm the terrible news and I couldn't even look. Ed and I just stared at each other with tears streaming down our faces.
I remember feeling like I just wanted to get this whole thing over with once the doctor suggested having a D&C, but a much bigger part of me was not ready to let this baby go. I remember thinking that 8 weeks was just not long enough! I had waited 5 years to get pregnant and to only be able to be pregnant for 8 short weeks seemed so unfair! I was afraid that this was the only baby I would ever get! I cried and cried and cried!
When I went in on April 6th for the D&C, I couldn't even answer the nurses in the operating room as to why I was there...I just broke down sobbing. The nurses were great though and immediately put me under! I had some complications with the D&C and developed some infections, but the emotional healing was much harder than the physical healing.
Once that happened, our doctor suggested that we try to transfer our two remaining embryos that had been frozen from previous cycles as soon as possible. He said that I would be more fertile after a miscarriage and that the chances of it working would be better - so we prepared for this transfer and scheduled it for two months after the miscarriage.
