Aromatherapy, I don't know your diagnosis but I think getting a cat will absolutely fill some of the space in your heart. I myself have a complicated diagnosis and I know the uncertainty is just CRAPPY! I too have decided to just keep moving forward with my life. My husband and I are almost done with the process of becoming foster/foster-to-adopt parents. I don't know if you would be interested in that but it's a non-traditional way to start a family. Unlike private/international adoption it doesn't cost thousands of dollars. If the child/ren that you are fostering become available for adoption you have that choice. It's just a suggestion, my husband and I have just reached the point of being ready to be parents regardless of how it happens. If you want more info let me know! Good luck to you in your journey!

thanks. i have hydrosalpinx,so the only way to have a child is to have my fallopian tubes removed and do ivf. fostering is not for me YET. and i say yet because i could change my mind in the future who knows,but for now im tired of hoop jumping and all the little things that go with ivf,adoption or fostering. i just want a normal life right now and i think a cat is a good first step for me.

I hear ya, we lost our son last May (stillborn) and we had a miscarriage in December. We decided to start the process in February. It's definitely been a lot.

oh i couldn't imagine a still born,it doesn't help but im sorry... life is not fair,but nothing is is it,i wish you luck with the fostering thing :)
