So I've been thinking about the future with Matt and this whole starting a family business.
I think we're just going to adopt all of our kids. ALL of them.
I highly doubt we'll be able to conceive on our own. My doctor told me I would have a difficult time conceiving, and so far it's been the case. Not that I'm actively TRYING to get pregnant now, GOD NO, but still.
So yes. We've decided to at least try natural conception in five years. If we're unsuccessful with that, we'll put our money towards adoption instead of costly fertility treatments that might not work at all or result in my being preggo with quads. I think not.
I want two little boys, brothers, from Russia. :) And a little girl, either from China or adopt a Hispanic girl stateside. Adopting Caucasian stateside is near impossible unless you do an open adoption - which I refuse to do. There isn't near enough protection for the adoptive parents in most states for me to feel comfortable with that. I don't care what race the child is at all - but there are certain family members that have already voiced opinions on children of certain races. Bah. I don't want to alienate a family member because they're being dumb, but I dunno. We'll see what happens. We won't do the adoption thing until we're in our 30's. I won't really miss not ever being pregnant, I've known since I was little that it was always a strong possibility that I'd never bear my own children. And then seeing how my Aunt is doing with her two little adopted children - I want that. She's not missing out on anything by adopting, they're still HERS in every sense but blood.
I want my two boys from Russia to be between the ages of 3 and 7. That would be ideal. The girl, who would be the youngest, could be adopted younger - especially if it's stateside. Two boys and a girl, my perfect family. :)
So yeah... when family starts asking, "When are you going to have kids?" my answer will be, "Whenever we can afford to adopt them." :)
