Serono (a fertility drug company so feel free to question their motives) has an ad campaign out called Increasing Your Chances and there is an article at salon.com about it. They are pretty interesting and speak pretty well to the infertile community in my opinion. I don't really have much else to say about it...I was curious about what Intended Mommy would have to say but she hasn't gotten around to taking a look yet.
However, I noticed an interesting thing while watching them. I could relate and all of that but I found myself a little more "detached" then I usually am from this kind of thing. I think that the whole adoption process, as it becomes more and more real, is crowding out these feelings associated with infertility. It's not as if adoption is somehow a cure. It isn't. But, I'm finding myself less interesting in being infertile....less interested? Hmm. I'm not sure what that means or how to express what I mean but I'm just not interested in thinking about all of that right now.
It's probably b/c today we got another phase of our home-study accomplished and are on the finishing stretch. Of course, it will still likely be another 18 months or so until we are actually parenting a little rugrat and a million feelings are still to be felt and a million things have to go right and a million things could go wrong...but...the ball is rolling.
