I got our first (and hopefully only) solicitation call today. I have to wonder if it was some sort of scam -- you know the people who think that you are so desperate to have a biological child that they will play on your desires and will scam you out of a lot of money? Well, the guy that called me (at work, even!) said he had seen our "ad" (<--first clue, there) in the B'ham News and he has some friends that had tried for (get this) seven years to have a baby. But when they tried this "all natural" product, they got pregnant right away. And would we be interested in trying this product?

What people often do not realize (though I'm sure that all of you, who read this blog, do) is that we no longer feel that deep & abiding NEED to have a biological child. For sure, at this point in our journey. Please don't get me wrong, if I were to miraculously come up pregnant, that would be fantastic -- although at this point, I think I would be in shock. BUT we don't have to have a biological child to be parents, and quite honestly, our hearts are already in Russia with a baby that will be ours one day in the (hopefully) near future.

So I just thought it was interesting to receive that phone call. The guy seemed like a nice guy, but I politely explained that our hearts are in this adoption and we really don't want to pursue anything other than that right at this moment. He was nice, not pushy - and I appreciated that a LOT - but yes, it was interesting to say the very least...

Anyway - just wanted to share!!
