i filled out a survey and was quoted....

in this months issue of Adoptive Families magazine!  OK, a silly dopey little quote on how we saved money during our adoption process.  Kind of embarrassing once you see it in print, but hey when you are in the thick of it and want to make sure you have all the resources you need for your child, you try to cut corners...right?  

While I am on the subject of being quoted, I was contacted by a freelance journalist for same magazine who is writing an article and wanted to know if she could take another quote of mine for the article.  This one not nearly as silly as the first though.  I had answered some questions about what we had done to create our family prior to choosing adoption.  I had used donor eggs and made some comments in my answers about how having a donor paved our path even more towards adoption.   I will admit I am  a person who takes great pains to make sure my communications are understood and will frequently punctuate with "does that make sense?" to make sure I am understood.  Having said that I have some trepidation about being quoted for an article with a mostly unknown topic, except for the fact it is in AF magazine, as I take what messages I give about fertility and adoption very seriously.   Not sure when the article will appear but I will let you know how it works out.
