Adoptive moms

I have seen many posts on this site about TTC which is great.  I am just wondering if there are any other PCO ladies out there who have adopted to complete their family?  I have an almost 10 year old precious daughter who we adopted at birth.  We originally had an open adoption but it has not been smooth sailing.  There is a part of me that would be pretty thrilled if I got pregnant now that I have had RNY but I am also fine the way things are.  Hubby does not want to adopt again (we had a failed adoption as well and it was pretty stressful).  Have any of you conceived after having surgery?  Do any of you have adopted children and bio children? Just curious....

Hello, I have  a son who is now 16 years old. We adopted him at 5 weeks old.(he knows). I have never concieved. We tried. No luck. I am now 45 and just had an "oops!" Not pregnant. Its okay now. The stress of not having a child is not as severe in my brain as used to  be when I was in my 20's or 30's.  I say keep trying if its your desire. The payoff i s a beautiful child. Right now hubby and I are enjoying the fact that we can now do the things we wanted to do and not feel guilty about  not having a baby . I am still enjoying my weightloss too.  Keep TTC'ing

Michelle-

Hi and thanks so much for the great post. I am the adoptive mother of 2 wonderful girls from China they are Greer almost 6 years old (adopted March 2003) and Sloane almost 4 years old (adopted May 2005). My husband and I went through all the infertility treatments known including 12 artificial inseminations and 2 Invitros with no success. I was certain from the time I was 13 there was a problem and despite numeroues docotors telling me NO I was a textbook case of PCOS. Since the surgery (8/6/07) I have been regular with my cycles despite going at one point 5 years...thats right YEARS with not a hint of spotting and the dumb GYN's only reply was "why put up with your period if you do not have to?" I swear this fool got his MD lic. from a gumball machine. This whole lets have a baby thing took Rich and I almost 15 years to achieve and as far as I am concerned these girls are the most INCREDIBLE miracles in our lives. With that being said will we try to have a bio baby.....Hell yeah we are going to try nothing may come of it but not a day goes by that I do not wonder if it could possibly happen to us. I am in awe of this surgery and how I have been able to claim my life back and how wonderful it is to live life and not jus****ch it go by. As every adoptive parent knows these kids we have grew in our hearts not our wombs yet the love as I see it will always be as strong regardless of where our children come from. Thanks for letting me share and I wish you every happiness.
