I am feeling very frustrated the last week or so. My pain from the whiplash is worse than ever, so I've been struggling with that and medications/not using medications. I've also been doing a lot of research into adoption within our province, and comparing the eight-year wait to spending $30,000+ per IVF treatment in order to have a biological child. We have a shorter wait for adoption if we adopt siblings in groups of 3 or more, or if we can take in a child with special needs, but I'm not sure if we could handle going from a couple to a family of 5 or more in the span of a few months, or be able to take on a child with special needs. I also have to be careful with the ages, because where I am 19, I can't adopt a child that is 13 or 14! It would just be weird. I am hoping that I can adopt one or two kids, and also have one biological if we are lucky and can afford it someday.
