So, how did we decide to adopt? Here is a little background in the history of our family plan.
- May 02- Clayton and Margo are married.
- Sept. 03- We decide it is time to start our family. Mostly because Margo wants 5 kids by the time she is 30 and at this point she is 26.
- Oct. 03-Oct. 04- We actively try to get pregnant, but to no success.
- Nov. 04- Margo has surgery to remove polyp from an important baby making area.
- Jan. 05- Margo starts new job as nanny and now that surgery is over and healed we are ready to start trying to get pregnant again. As part of working for a peditrician, I take a TB test and fail!
- Feb. 05-Nov. 05- Margo has to take antibiotics for inactive TB (how in the world I got inactive TB no one ever found out, but being on antibiotics meant no getting pregnant.)
- Jan. 06- Now that antibiotics are out of Margo's system, we start trying again to get pregnant. But while on meds, the idea of adoption floated around.
- April 06- Doctor wants to do many more tests and possible fertility drugs to help with the getting pregnant. By now, Margo feels that instead of spending money to have a biological baby, we could spend the money to adopt an already born baby that needs a good home
- May 06- We start to discuss adoption as a real possibility. Margo visits with an adoption agency. Margo feels that we should adopt even if biological babies are a possibility. Clayton feels that we should adopt as a last resort.
- June 06- Clayton hears Louie Giglio and is convicted that we start the adoption process immediately.
- Aug. 06- We decide on The Gladney Center for our adoption agency.
- Aug. 31, 2006- We drop off our information sheet to Gladney.
And that is where we are now. So, that is a little background to our journey so far.
