A new year. The last year we will have the farm. A year to try again. Walking through the airport on my way back to work and real life, I think decisively "In February we try a double cycle with my eggs and the donor eggs, whatever it costs." It reassures me to have a strong, firm decision. It helps me to think that I can make a difference, actually achieve this dream but mostly I am just treading water, wanting to get through as much time as possible and wanting this last year of my family home to last forever while wanting the pain of saying goodbye to be over now, today, packed up and behind me, painlessly in the past.
I've been thinking about you constantly. So glad to hear an update from you.

I hope that a year from now, you are writing about what a great year 2009 was.

May I present you with a big virtual hug and a cuppa tea?
I hope 09 is your year.

Hello,
I am an adoptive mom who went through IF and ART for four years. I am reaching out to my fellow bloggers to introduce my new non profit, Parenthood for Me, Inc. Our mission is to provide financial and emotional support to those starting families through adoption or medical intervention. 2009 is about spreading awareness and building up our endowment. We plan on awarding grants to anyone who is a US citizen in Spring of 2010. The link to our website is below. Here is the link to our blog http://parenthoodforme.blogspot.com Also, I am holding an essay contest to tell the stories of other people.
Please pass the link on.
Sincerely,
Erica Walther Schlaefer
