Turning over a new leaf

Our first paperwork

I wasn't sure if I wanted to blog about it but here it goes. After our second IVF failed we decided to look into foster care. We know it's not going to be easy but it's going to be a blessing; a calling that god has given us.  Later I'll go into more detail of what the process is and what things are required.  


On another note: We are not giving up on trying to have a child but we have to save up enough money to pay for the medication, ER & ET to start the process all over again. (We don't have any more embryos left.)  Right now we have to finish paying off what we owe for the two IVF attempts. Our doctor wants to keep doing IVF but it's so much money. On our last appointment I asked if we could do an IUI with a sperm donor he told us that it would be just as expensive as IVF and its not guaranteed to work. (My mental thought: Ummmm I have paid for 2 IVF treatments and they didn't work either so I would like to try an IUI thank you very much!) Sometimes on some of our appointments I feel like they only want our money and they really don't care.
