Ah, springtime, but still no signs of life for us. By this time we have resorted to fertility pills and mapping out the best times for ovulation. Nothing. Zip. Nada. We started to become frustrated with our situation, and the next step was in vitro fertilization. It was around this time that we also began to look at other options. I was always aware of adoption as an option, and started to explore the various scenarios. Rani began looking into the IVF procedure, and decided two things, she didn't want to be poked and prodded, and that the procedure has a very low success rate and is very expensive (and not covered by our insurance). We began to talk about adoption as a viable option to start our family.
