Doctor's Visit

We finally got the results back from the testing we had done.  Turns out everything is still okay with my hormone levels, thyroid etc.. but Jeff's sperm count is still low.  On a good note the morphology was normal (it never has been before).  We will continue on the vitamins until February when he will get another test and if we still see no improvement we will stop taking them.

The good part of the doctors visit was talking to the doctor about adoption.  Last time we were there we had asked if it would be possible to leave our profile with the main office in case a pregnant women comes into the clinic and mentions she would like to put the child up for adoption.  Then the doctor can give her our information and she can contact us directly.  When we saw the doctor this time he asked us how that was going and said that he will be sure to talk to all the doctors he knows (including the one that delivers most of the babies here in Whitehorse) and tell them about us and that we would like to adopt.  I think at the moment this is our best chance at building a family.  Now we just need to get a profile made up.

I also received a call from our social worker.  She was just checking up on us and making sure we were doing okay.  She was just as shocked and angry that the last adoption fell through.  She said that as she was looking through our file she noticed the "family" picture we had sent her and she just couldn't believe that it ended the way it did.  He really did fit our family so well.  I was hoping when she called that she would have some good news about a possible child, but unfortunately there is nothing on the horizon at the moment and quite frankly she doesn't see anything happening anytime soon.

I think that's about all for now.  We are in the midst of a busy Christmas season plus home renovations so things have been quite hectic.  Hopefully in a couple weeks we will be able to slow down and enjoy the holidays!

Merry Christmas!
