The end of our story is the best part; so I am going to start there!
My wife and I have a gorgeous 2 year old! Phoebe is the most amazing kid ever - I know all moms say that. She is stunning, and smart! She's also two so we are in the throws of tantrums and strong willed acting out. I love every minute of it!
The beginning of our story is much harder. Adoption is a roller coaster ride, as is the case with most life experiences.
After years of failed IUI attempts to get pregnant we decided that being a family was more important than being pregnant. So we found a great agency in NYC that we instantly loved. They were small enough that we did not feel like a number. Most importantly, they were the only agency that answered my request for information. Not every company will work with same sex couples.
At that first meeting we asked the question that would come back to haunt us.....
"How often do you have to take babies back because birth mothers change their minds."
"Never in 11 years!" was the answer......
There's a first for everything!
