Yes, it has been a while, nearly a year really, since we last attempted an IUI. Since then we have moved to Virginia. Where we are settling in just enough to move again to our very own house at the end of this month. Our new home will give us a few extra bedrooms and bathrooms and even a playset--that we hope will be filled with the laughter of children (ideally our own) in the future.
Since moving here, I've met with an OB and talked about local fertility specialist but haven't pursued it much further. Instead we have set our eyes on adoption. We talked with one organization about adopting from the Philippines but were told quickly "no." The conversation basically ended like this: "I am afraid that a history of your husband having had Cancer even in remission for 7 years disqualifies you for the Philippines Adoption Program." Boo! for cancer!
On the heels of that disappointment, we did find out about an organization called Catholic Charities. And I am excited to say, the conversation went well. We called and are now officially beginning our application paperwork for a domestic newborn adoption. Right now we aren't thinking foster to adopt but we are still leaving that door open a little.
