Life as an adoptive family.
My Story
- Rachel
- 4 miscarriages, 3 failed IVFs with PGD, 2 different sperm donors, 1 diagnosis of balanced translocation. Now we are the proud parents of a boy via domestic infant semi-open adoption. We had a failed match for kid #2 and are now matched again.

Oh dear. I feel your pain - I'm so glad we managed to find somewhere we both like that is mixed income. Before we got married and moved to this town we both had drug dealers for neighbours... and we both loved where we lived... no idea what we would have done if we'd ended up in either of our previous cities!
I do know your city a little and would be fascinated to hear which areas you live in/are looking at - you could always email me/PM me on Rav?
Moving is a PITA. Finding the right home is a PITA, especially when you both have different visions(I don't know if "you" do be "we" do). So much to sort through. The house we're in we bought just to get out of my MIL's house. (Boring story.) We hate it but are stuck. *shrug*
Good luck to you!
I love the look of the house on your blog header.
I'm with you on not liking suburbs...
You know, I think that in terms of number of loud and unpleasant arguments it generated, one of the most difficult decisions we ever made was (and I am so not kidding) was which dining room table to buy.
Moving is really, really hard. I don't like suburbs in general, but there are some that are less, um, suburban than others. (and now I'm really wondering where you're thinking of moving).
Sorry. Houses are a big decision. With lots of money involved. And different school districts and lifestyles and ...
It seemed to work well for us to look casually at first, so we'd know the market well and be ready to pounce when the right thing came along. But if there's a lot of disagreement, that might do more harm than good.
