A tale of that wacky world of infertility that has now spiraled into the fascinating world of Guatemalan adoption and now... Parenting a child who's smile lights up the world, has a laugh that would drive the meanest person to hysterics and who also happens to have a genetic deletion at 16p11.2.

Oh, I forgot to ask
I saw a post on a blog this week about a woman who took her baby (adopted from Guatemala) to a yard sale and met a young man who was also adopted from Guatemala. I wanted to show Marc the blog entry but now I can't find it. If you know what I am talking about, could you please point me in the right direction?
Thanks

I think I saw the story on the big list. Good luck with the DNA testing. I will have my fingers cross.
ReplyDeletesorry, I was mistaken it is at adoption.com at the Guatmala forum. Hope you find it.
ReplyDeleteShe too kher baby to a yard sale! Wasnt she happy with it? I hope she got a good price.
ReplyDeleteOh, oh, oh! I know! I know! It wasn't a blog it was on the adoption forum board. AWESOME STORY! I will email you the link - you can post it here if you want.
ReplyDeleteForgot to ask - what is the prize?
ReplyDeleteJulie,
ReplyDeleteStopping by via The Naked Ovary. I read your comment about donating meds.
I have boy/girl twins who will turn two next month. If not for the generous offer of medication from an online friend, I would not have been able to go through another cycle. I could afford the RE fee's or the meds, but not both. She found success, passed me her leftovers. 8k in gonal-f and repronex.
It worked, obviously.
I owe her a debt that I can never repay.
Not only did she enable us to have a chance at having another child, but as we were just starting the 2ww, we lost our 16 year old daughter.
These babies can never replace Marrissa, but they have brought much needed laughter and joy into our home.
I cannot imagine where we would have ended up without these new blessings...
So, anyway... I just wanted to thank you for helping another woman out. It's a wonderful gift to give... The chance to create life.
