My mom is in town helping us pack up and making sure we see all the sites we need to see before leaving. It's been BUSY, my feet are tuckered out so last night we watched "Juno" again, enjoyed some wine, and let our feet rest. I love that movie, I love the one liners, her parents, and the overall movie about how it deals with everything. I watch it and realize that a lot of it is very fictional but at the same time so true? It terrifies me to watch the adoptive couple as they are clearly not on the same page from the start of the movie. I know there are so many couples out there going through all this and the thought that some aren't as "together" in the process is scary. If you haven't watched the movie I highly suggest checking it out, but go into it as I did the first time with an open mind. If anything the one liners are great ~ especially in the first 10 minutes. I would love to hear your thoughts on the movie as well!!??
Thank you

The journey to parenthood through the eyes of an infertile couple.
Our Journey
Our wonderful life together started many years ago on New Years Eve. On October 15th 2005 we married, one of the happiest days of our lives with many happy days since. In October of 2006 I stopped taking birth control and we threw caution to the wind. October, our two year mark, came & went and still no glimmer of a "little pear". We know we will get there someday however it's meant to be. This is our day to day journey to that point.

I understand the heartache of the unknown. What should you do, where do you go next, when to keep trying? We have one wonderful son born naturally and then I had a hysterectomy. We tried 2 attempts at IVF with a gestational surrogate and they both didn't work. (www.freewebs.com/thedyerbaby) We know would like to adopt, but our hearts are still broken from the failed IVF's. We also put all of our money into that, so now we are back at zero. We are just healing a little bit and waiting for God to lead us where we need to go next with our desire for one more baby. I will keep you in my prayers and am glad to have found you!
I am right with you on the movie Juno- my husband and I both enjoyed it. Definately not as realistic, quite a lot of "Hollywood" in it but still a good movie. And what you have to realize is each adoption is as unique as the child you are adopting- I am living proof of that one with our two little love bugs. Love the one liners too. Have a great weekend- loving the blog:)
Love, love, LOVE Juno. Ben and I first saw it in the theaters and both left the theater, in tears. It hit a little close to home. We watched it for the second time a couple of nights ago and cried again. It's one of the most heartwarming movies I've ever watched. (And frick'n hilarious!) :)
Hi there--I just left a long comment on your post from the day you had the Big Talk. I linked to your blog from somewhere else and didn't realize it wasn't your most recent post. Just wanted to make sure you see it!
Hello!
I too found your blog through Rebekah's and am enjoying reading about your journey. My husband and I are in the adoption process, we are "paper pregnant" so to speak. I liked "Juno," although I did think it had some pretty blatant cliche moments. For example, I didn't like the twist between the adoptive parents and how that turned out. Very few married women I know would ever truly want that ending. I also didn't care for how the movie made it look as though only rich, white people from the suburbs adopt. Overall though it was a cute movie and adoption was mostly represented well. I also cried at the part where she saw her son for the first time in the hospital nursery...that was very touching.
Good luck to you as you continue forth with your specialist appointment, etc. I so remember those days and those difficult conversations with my hubby. You seem to have a wonderful attitude about all of this!
