The Price of Happiness

Today we met with our financial advisor. Gotta cash out our mid-term savings. I had two drinks with Malibu after she left - the most alcohol I've had in a couple years.

As much as we have resolved to keep trying with the infertility treatments and naturally, we know that door is going to close soon. The cost of all this starts to take a toll. Adoption though is a whole new ballgame with intercountry costs out of reach for many couples. Kids who need homes and prospective parents who can't afford it. So wrong on so many levels. We decided that a future without kids will result in regret later in our lives. We were always open to adoption but were not quite ready until now because of the financial choices we had to make.

So we started to fill out the adoption application forms tonight. Day one of a whole new process of triangulation, frustration, and hope with absolutely no guarantee.
