Hello! This is Susan and I am a twenty eight year old married woman. It’s been four years that we are married and till now I have not been successful in conceiving. We have tried a lot of times but our efforts went futile. I am very sad because my doctor told me that I can’t conceive anymore. I am very depressed and so is my husband. I have spent a number of sleepless nights and this problem seems like a nightmare to me of which I can never come out. For a certain period of time, I thought that all my wishes and hopes were shattered. But then I realized that there are other ways of experiencing motherhood.

I and my husband, therefore, decided to adopt a child. This appeared to us to be a noble thing to do. I would get a child and at the same time, the lonely child would get a family. With this plan in our minds, we worked day and night to find out good centers from where we could adopt a child. Finally the site http://www.parentinginformed.com gave us information on adoption resources which was very useful. I also talked to people on the parenting forums on this matter.
