Welcome, Alisha.
CONGRATS on your weight loss!!!!! My husband, Todd & I adopted our daughters from foster care. Their adoptions were final in June 2005. They were in foster care with my parents when we met them. They were 6 & 8 years old at the time of their adoptions. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have regardign foster adopt. Just wait until you get your kids and you start experiencing all of the "firsts" you experience with them. Ours have been amazing. Probably one of the most amazing firsts with our daughters was their first plane ride. My youngest could not contain herself. She was VERY excited. I have a thousand positive stories if you are ever interested in hearing positive things. Don't get me wrong, there are also negative things, but our positives FAR outweigh the negatives.
Again, welcome.

My name is Alisha and I'm moving to this list from OASIS because of the
decision my wonderful husband, Preston, and I have made together. After 5
years of TTC, we have come to the curve in the road to parenthood and are
excited to see what lies on the other side for us.
I am currently at 264 lbs, down from 286 before starting treatment for my
PCOS. I am getting back on Ortho Lo (this is my first month) so that I can
again start having monthly periods, because I have not had one on my own
since February and my doctor is worried that the lining of my uterus may be
hardening.
Preston and I are beginning our classes in February to become certified
Foster Parents. We are hoping to adopt children from the foster system and
are very excited about it. We are holding off on our home study because we
will be moving in the spring and don't want to have to do another one as
soon as our classes are over.
It took Preston and I a long time to get to this point. We needed to do
grieving, hurting, and healing before we were ready to say, "Maybe this
isn't the way that we'll become parents. Maybe we need to look at another
path for us." I know that some part of me will always grieve for the
children I never carried, but I also know that I will dearly love the
children that come into my life in this way with all my heart.
I am happy to meet all of you, and look forward to sharing good ideas,
stories, and experiences.
