Date: 2003-06-09 02:58 am (UTC)*hugs* thank you so much for sharing that infertility story. It's amazing that you have a healthy adopted daughter now. Go Maya!
I guess we'll decide on adoption in a couple of years. My husband still firmly believes that someday, we'll get pregnant, but we'll see. Right now the main work is accepting our problems and living with our child-free-ness ;)
percival
me too
Date: 2003-06-09 01:22 am (UTC)amazing coincidence - that's one I bought over there too!
Pleased it all went so well. I loved the Victorian cowgirl photo - you're just as I imagined you, except I envisaged you in black-framed glasses.
Cheers
