Two years ago for Christmas Techie gave me an iPod with the phrase “This is the year we start our family” engraved on the back. Some 20 days earlier we’d completed our home study and after three years of trying to get pregnant and one miscarriage we were hopeful about adoption. 7 months and one week later L gave birth to our beautiful son and we became parents.
While having things injected or inserted on a regular basis or enduring the adoption wait doesn’t sound particularly appealing we’re ready to try for #2 and it seems almost everyone has an opinion on the subject. We’ve heard it all from friends, family, coworkers, and even perfect strangers.
