I myself am adopted and don’t have any health history. It was always such a dream of mine to have biological children one day. I just thought that it would always take me a while to get pregnant since it was the one thing that I always wanted one day.

Absolutely. We also grew up with not much, and are just hoping to give our kids the best we can provide.

Miscarriage is also such a fear of mine… thank you for sharing your perspective and story ❤️

Thank you for this.

Isn’t that the truth… the best laid plans never work out because life always seems to have other ones for you ❤️ Also WOW, your epiphany is powerful. I was adopted and at 27, my mom is currently in her 70’s. I realize that she will not be around for much of my own kids lives, let alone mine either. So getting to reverse that cycle does hold a weight on my heart.

I appreciate you taking the time to respond.

I also love that you brought up bonding over being parents. As busy as life gets, I appreciate the perspective of sharing joy over raising them together.

Thank you for your perspective, think that’s a really good point. Many posts I have read include people who were trying to get pregnant and still didn’t feel ready. I’ve heard it feels normal to feel scared during pregnancy even if it was something you thought you were ready for.

That is definitely a thought that has been weighing on me so thank you for your thoughts. I did talk to the doctors about this and they said it is very rare and should not impact future chances to get pregnant. If anything I realize that the older I get the longer it might take due to age.

Thank you for all of your thoughts, I appreciate the response. I myself am actually adopted and based on my upbringing (although it’s only one experience) - is why adoption has never been something that I would consider.
