Hey 3T! Just wanted say hi!

[redandblue]

Hai 3T's!  I just wanted to quickly pop over here and say hi!  I am still reeling from all the crap that happened over on TB!  Cray cray!  Lol!  Anyhoo, I just wanted to thank those from 3T for your support over the past couple of months.  IF is a very lonely place to be, and our community has been a saving grace for so many.  I am going to move on over to the adoption&fostering board now,  (thank you @nariadreaming for this awesome place for us to continue to support each other! ) as that is where our journey has taken us.  But I will probably lurk a bit and be cheering you all on!  FX for lots of BFP's this year!

I'm not in the placement stage yet, but I'm also going to pursue foster-to-adopt! I will see you over there

[hrushka]

Good luck! And please keep us updated.

Hai lady! Good luck on your adoption journey! Please update us along the way!

[mshandlebar]

I am lurking! (I finally got around to creating a profile, because I am a lazy ass). Good luck with everything! My fingers are crossed that it works out smoothly and quickly for you. I'll be watching out for updates, and since we are still going forward with the foster to adopt I will be seeing you around the adoption board

theholmanherd, mshandlebar and @iputketchuponketchup I look forward seeing you all over on the adoption board! That is exciting! mshandlebar that is great you are still going through with the process! theholmanherd I think it is wonderful that you getting yourself prepared to go down the adoption journey! Have you begun you swimming lessons? I think that is wonderful that you are doing that! @iputketchuponketchup that sounds great that you want to provide a loving home for children in the foster care system. I think that being a foster parent would be very difficult, but they are so important and needed. When you are ready to head over to the adoption board, I would love to hear more about your experiences and advice for families, coming from someone who lived in the foster care system.

I do have to say that it really does not have the same feeling and support as I have always found on 3T I do hope to find some more support over there, but I do find myself gravitating back here.

redandblue, @ketchup is just ketchup now, FYI. I haven't started swim lessons yet, but I will start once we move. I'm sort of consumed by the move right now.

[redandblue]

Thanks theholmanherd for catching that, and sorry @ketchup for the tag fail! Thanks @ketchup for sharing your story. Sounds like you have had quite the challenges in your up bringing and I genuinely appreciate your openness in sharing (another reason why I feel 3T is more home and supportive, if you do lurk over on the adoption board I don't really find that many people being very active the, but maybe it's just me so far). I understand the decision for fostering older children and your comfort level with your IF journey. That was a big thing that was stressed to us when we began the adoption process, that they did not want you pursuing both at the same time. We were told that they wanted you fully available and invested in the process. We have decided to stop treatments, but are not currently doing anything to avoid getting KU. I'm sure we won't be that cliche story (like my Dr said to me the other day, how we will probably get KU once we get a matched placement....um Dr that is not how it happens. Lol). I'm not sure if I should feel guilty about not doing anything to prevent getting KU. But I dont.

Thanks for all the support ladies!
