Default Discovery's Adoption Stories...PCOS couple

I'm watching the show right now titled, "The Snook Family", originally aired in 2004. They have infertility issues due to PCOS. It's so good to see more shows talking about PCOS and infertility. The more we talk about it, positively, maybe people will understand we don't want their pity or sympathic looks. We are normal people.

I am a woman with PCOS. I am a wife, a mother, a daughter, a sister, a friend, an American....and PCOS cannot change any of those aspects of my life. Am I happy I have PCOS? No, who is?

What frustrates me more than people treating me like I'm defective b/c I can't conceive is the mentality that adoption was my "back up plan" or that if I can't be a "real" mom, this is 2nd best. When our adoption is final, I will have legal paperwork stating my boys are my children. It is no different than my marriage certificate. I chose to enter into a legal binding relationship with my husband and choose to enter into a legal binding relationship with my sons. It's not about DNA; it's about love, nurture and making the difference in the life a child.

I'm gonna stop looking back and starting moving on
And learn how to face my fears
Love with all of my heart, make my mark
I wanna leave something here
Go out on a ledge, without any net
That's what I'm gonna be about
Yeah, I wanna be running
When the sand runs out

You said it girl !

I had a girl ask me the other day if I was going to have "real" kids...
then she went on about all the girls in China who are not wanted...OK LADY !! (she doesnt know we are adopting from China obviously) SHUT UP NOW !!

I woulda leap over the table and punched her if it werent for respect for my other friends in attendence...

We are not broken and adoption is not a last resort...DH and I always talked adoption no matter what...if we end up pregnant with a bio fine if not fine

Take care,
Amy

p.s. I missed the show ! darn it
