Theres always adoption

"There is always adoption" is a phrase we hear very often. Now unlike my post earlier this week this phrase actually never bothers me. We are very open to adoption but most people do not know the facts of adoption.

Here are the reasons adoption isn't in the cards right now.

1. The average cost of adoption in the United States is $30,000. I don't know about you but we don't have an extra $30,000 to pay upfront for anything right now. If its a private adoption it is less but still upwards of $10,000 for lawyer fees.

2. The wait is insane. In the United States the average wait to adopt is between two and seven years.

Then there is fostering. This option is more financially reasonable however the emotions behind fostering are so high. You might have to give the child back to their family. Me personally and I'm sure Jay feels the same way would be absolutely crushed to have to give a child we had been raising back. Sometimes you can eventually adopt the child but it often takes years of unknowing if that will be the outcome or not.


So you see Jay and I are open to all of these options but there are still hesitations.

If you know anyone looking for a private adoption, or any great agencies let us know because we are always keeping our options open.

Acne Free

I only promote products that I feel truly work. With that being said I have an incredible testimony to share with you all. Like most women I break out terribly whenever something hormone related is going in in my body. When I was pregnant I didn't have that beautiful glow some pregnant women had, no I had terrible acne. When I'm about to start my period what do I get ACNE. So you can imagine how nervous I was to go on a hormone medication. I was convinced my skin was going to be worse then ever, and even bought new makeup for my airbrush so I could cover it all.  I found out about this company called Aloette and fell in love. The products are all farm to jar and they use their own Aloeganic organic aloe. I needed a new product line for the Spa so decided to start using that and gradually started buying more and more products to use at B Flawless Spa. Whenever I would find something new I would end up keeping it for myself and having to either share it with the spa or go an

Comfort

Well here we are again typing these on my phone because my precious Laney chewed every computer cord in the house (and yes the were put out of her reach or so we thought) Today I want to talk about my medical care and how important doctors really are on this infertility journey. I have seen from so many others before we started going through this loved ones posting how much they adore their doctors or fertility specialists. Me looking in from the outside thought that was odd, but boy has my tune changed. If you have read my previous blogs you will know what a terrible doctor I had with my miscarriage back in September. I was terrified to go to a doctor after that. With the suggestion of tons of clients and friends I found my current OB. The office she works at stays so busy and I had to wait three months. That was frustrating but I knew in my heart that she must be good because of this wait. I was so right she walked into the room and immediately I felt comforted. She talked t
