		<description>Hi, I noticed your interview for the open adoption thingy. I&#039;m an adoptee and bioparent. I would be honored if you ever wanted to read my blog. I&#039;ve beeb reading more about feminism, reproductive rights, and womens well being and how all that factors into the relinquishment experience.

I&#039;ve enjoyed your blog so far! Wish you much peace.</description>

		<description>So very important to do that grief work before you proceed or it will rebound on you and the child.</description>

		<description>Deb,

I really value your comment. It&#039;s important that all perspectives have a voice and I&#039;m so very glad that you took the time to tell us a little bit about your journey. I honor all of the women who have walked before me in this journey to expand our families. I hope you will share more of your story.

		<description>As part of a couple that had to do the single parent adoption internationally twice I totally get where you are coming from.  Luckily for us, our social worker was willing to help us get these girls.  As far as domestic adoption, our state doesn&#039;t allow same sex couples to adopt, so that was out.   Bending our relationship status was difficult, but the quest for the children outweighed our need to take a stand.  Good luck with everything.</description>

		<description>Such a mix of emotions moving from fertility to adoption. Hope and mourning really sums it up.Take care of yourself future mamas as you balance these two emotions. You definitely weren&#039;t alone in that room with those feelings. Hugs for both of you.   

Just from your blog and seeing how fast you and Nadia move and adapt to change,  I suspect that in a short time you will know be very knowledgeable about adoption and on your way. You two really know how to rock and roll through life.</description>

		<description>THis post is both hopeful and so sad. I know that moving forward in this quest, even if it is from IUI to IVF has the same mix, but somehow, this post really hit me in the heart. I can&#039;t wait to read the posts when you do get on the train, because you will have it down cold.
Take care,
Sarah</description>
