As for when she wants to start a family, we were supposed to start trying two years ago and we put that on hold to move here and get settled... and then we had made a New Years Resolution together to absolutely 100% try and hope to be quite pregnant by the end of 2006. This is why I made the fertility appointment, because we wanted to see what my options are so we could make an informed (and quick) decision about who would do the trying. (Jen's like clockwork so it's probably no big deal for her.) We were hoping that someone would be pregnant before summer.
It's possible that she could use the experience to get a good job somewhere that doesn't stink, but there's definitely no guarantee and I doubt we could pick the area so specifically (there's no way to know whether there are similar jobs to this one out there). It's true that we could postpone the kid thing for another couple of years, but that seriously breaks my heart. I feel like I've been waiting for 5 years already! I got married the first time when I was 23 and I always thought I would have a child by 25 - I wanted to be a young mom. To have gone through a divorce and postponed, then to have moved here and postponed, then to move down to FL and postpone? Ugh, I don't know how heartbroken I would be, honestly.
We're also legally barred from adopting children in Florida.
