Hi all, I thought I'd better come out and say hi since I've been browsing around for a couple of days! My DH & I have been TTC#1 for 7 years, 4 of which with medical assistance, which has progressed to IVF for the last 12 months. We are currently doing our 2nd stim IVF cycle, but our hearts have been being drawn to adoption, to the point where we're losing interest in TTC anymore (esp with ivf) and are super excited at the prospect of adoption! We have thought about adoption before, but I'd be lying if I said I was keen......but something has completely changed in these last few months- we are Christians so whether God is leading us a different way, I don't know Anyway, we are first and foremost interested in local adoption (we are both 30, in nsw) and I have sent away for the DoCs info pack, as well as ringing Centacare and talking to someone there who is sending out some information. So, I hope that it's ok that I join in here? I know we're not completely on the adoption path as yet, but we are looking into it seriously. Chat to you soon RJ ps. and thanks to Jac for the link to here

Hi RJ, Of course it is okay for you to join here. And only you can decide if you want to further go down the IVF path or pursue adoption which sometimes is an even stonier road. Personally I would not give up after just 2 cycles as at the moment I would say your odds are still good.
But on the other hand you are very young in regards to adoption which is an enourmous advantage as young couples tend to be preferred by birth mothers who are involved in who is getting their child.
Good luck which ever way you will decide to go

Hi RJ, welcome to the forum. I am also very new to this and I'm off to intercountry seminar on 4th April. I had already decided last IVF cycle that we were going to move onto adoption I think it is very normal to be thinking to the future even when going through the rollercoaster of trying to conceive. I wish you luck.
