It's a no go

What a disappointing day. The doctor told us that we couldn't use our friend because she has never given birth. I do understand this logic, but if we are fine with it, then why does the doctor get the final say? I feel hopeless. I know God put me through all of this for a reason, but what's the reason? I thought it was a sign that we should adopt. Well, we can't afford adoption. Then, this amazing opportunity to do IVF came up. This was perfect. We would get another newborn, M was really excited, and we could afford it. I am devastated. I was so excited. My mom offered to be our surrogate, but the Dr said due to her age he wouldn't recommend it. AHHH All I want to do is eat ice cream and cry. (I know, stop feeling sorry for yourself) I will. It's just going to take time. So, what would you do?

  2. Definitely have some ice cream and allow yourself to feel bad. Then, check out this post: http://weloveourlucy.blogspot.com/2010/02/fundraising-101.html

    and get started fund raising so you can bring home your ET baby!

  3. Leslie and I want to do a fundraiser for your adoption. We discussed having a photographers in the park day where all your photo-friends offer up their services for a flat fee from each family and they can get their pics taken by semi-professionals/professionals and get a CD of the photo shoot to take home and have the pictures printed wherever they want. Isn't that a great idea? I think it would do really well. April or May would probably be a great time to do something like this.
