IVF is very hard. Each time I felt like I had ,in a sense, killed someone. Each time I had the perfect embryos, actually, my fertility clinic used the to teach first year embryologist. None the less they just didn't stick.

We will be using, probably, Gladney out of Dallas Tx. My husband is black and they have the ABC program. ABC is a program for black and biracial adoptions. That programs is also based on a sliding scale fee. So like for my husband and I, we make between 75,000-100,000 a year, our out of pocket would be around $11000. There is also an adoption agency where I live and they start at $15000.

Are ya'll thinking about adoption? It's scary but you can always message me or PM me!:smile2:

I've had pcos for about 15 years and its always been managed by birth control. I was a bit worried about going off of it for a month prior to surgery, but I had no issues and now I'm a over a month out of surgery and have had no pain. However I have not tried to get pregnant, but its one of the major reasons why I decided to do this surgery to help down the road.

We are going through the foster care system So it is 100% free. The state picks up bill. We also get a 13000 dollar tax credit for the adoption. This is not the reason we chose foster care adoption but it will help. The Children in foster care are older. Most of them above the age of 5 and they have trouble past will need some extra TLC. But I wan to be a Mom and maybe that doesn't mean a baby but I can still give a child a a forever home.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
