A human zygote Part 2 of our little series. I just spoke with the embryologist that will work with our case. His name is Doug, and he’s absolutely fantastic. He speaks plainly, clearly, but technically. He’s compassionate and reasonable. During Shannon’s appointment with Dr. Kustin, she went upstairs to talk…

My wife and I are infertile. Our daughter – that perfect little curly-red-headed cherub that I post pictures of here occasionally came to us via open adoption. She’s the absolute light of our lives. Before choosing to adopt, we had worked with a fertility specialist, but had chosen to stop…

We’re feeling pretty well worn down. Shannon’s sick. I’m sick and staying home from Alpha celebration dinner. The situation I alluded to a few days ago looked to be going well, then blew up again today. It’s frustrating, draining and sad. If you are one of those folks that think…
