Join us on our journey as I learn how to be a doctor and a wife, long to be a mother, and seek out God's plan in it all.

Our Journey
01/07 - Decide to start trying. Assumed we would have a baby in October. Saw my OB/GYN who told me to call him in a few months when we were pregnant.
03/07 - Started charting using basal body temps and "tried harder". Had a period every month, 28th day, like clock-work.
01/08 - Realized something must be wrong and returned to my doc's office.
02/08 - Sperm analysis (SA) shows 0% morphology, everything else normal. Failed independent adoption days after finding out SA results.
03/08 - Repeat (SA) still with 0% morphology. Heath goes to a urologist who finds no abnormalities. Erin has bloodwork - all normal.
05/08 - First appt with Reproductive Endocrinologist. We were told we would only get pregnant through IVF. Tried for financing - weren't approved.
08/08 - Awaiting decision from birth mother about independent adoption #2.
09/08 - Failed adoption #2. Don't know where to turn next.
01/09 - Decide to foster, with the intention of adopting. Paperwork turned in and waiting for a home study
02/09 - Assigned a case worker, have a home study and told we will likely have a placement in May/June.
03/09 - Start DHS parenting classes. Home study begins. We're told we could have a placement this month!
04/09 - Sign our contract with DHS. Lots of waiting. Things not happening as quickly as we had hoped.
05/09 - hoping this will be the month...
05/08/09 - Take little J home with us. 5 days old and love at first sight!
