I'm Rajah. I'm 27 and my husband is 29. He works in IT and I'm a second year Pathology resident. I stopped BCPs last month and we're now on cycle 2 of TTC.
We're planning on starting the adoption/foster care process in the New Year. I have two related genetic disorders that (1) will make pregnancy difficult and (2) have a high likelihood of being passed on, so we will probably only have 1 biological child. We both want multiple kids though, so we hope to expand our family via fostering and/or adoption. Since it's been a part of the plan since we got married, we don't have a preference what comes first. So we're starting both processes and which ever happens first, great.
I've been stalking this board for awhile now. I figured I'd finally intro so I don't feel like a creeper anymore. Plus then I can love tit galore without seeming like a weirdo, lol.

Hi RajahMD! Welcome and best of luck. You and YH sound like you are in the exact same place me and MH were a year ago. We had just started TTC and also started the foster care licensing process in early 2015. It has always been our plan as well to have one biological child and foster/adopt all other children. After getting our IF diagnosis this fall, it looks like we might not have any bio children, but we will see. We are currently fostering 2 little boys.
Good luck with TTC and starting the foster/adopt process! I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.

Good luck and welcome! I've seen you on GKU. It is our current plan to have one bio and foster/adopt any future children too though bio is proving rather challenging!

Welcome. We are starting our fostering/adopting journey as well. We were/are trying to have biological child(ren) but based on our IF that may not be in our cards.
