After my third mc this week, DH and I have decided to take a break from ttc until after the holidays. At this point, the RE is suggesting IVF with PGD. I know that it's a miracle for some people here, but I don't think it's right for me. We have friends who did several unsuccessful attempts at IVF, spending tens of thousands of dollars and suffering so much heartache before deciding to adopt. I remember talking with my friend about her experience, and she confided in me that if she had it to do over, she would have moved immediately to adoption. They love their son and feel as though he was always meant to be a part of their family.
I don't want to rush to the adoption agency immediately. I'm still grieving 3 losses and need to give that time. How do you know when you are ready?

Yesterday, I saw my coworker and his wife with the baby girl they adopted from Russia in June, and it really tugged at my heart! Last week, DH and I were talking, and I realized how much he longs for a family. I think this self-imposed break we're taking is moving us closer together and closer to choosing adoption.
