At one point, nearly 20 years ago, I considered adoption. I had two options - one was adopting from the US, from a state where abortion is illegal and many babies are put up for adoption each year and the other was adopting in Israel, which was likely to involve a six year wait in order to get a baby.

I wanted to know that s/he was healthy, that the mother hadn't used drugs or alcohol during the pregnancy, that the baby was normal... and then I thought that if my demands were so high, I just wasn't ready to adopt.  Read more >

About Me: 

Born in the US and lived there until I graduated from high school in 1985, when I moved to Israel. I now live in Modiin with my best friend (and husband) Ohad and our six children - ages 16-1/2, 14, 14, 5, 4 and 2. I work as a freelance usability expert, meaning that I make software and websites user-friendly. I also blog at http://www.fertilitystories.com/fertilityblog/ and http://www.despitemotherhood.blogspot.com - not nearly as frequently as I'd like, but I guess that's what happens when you work from home AND have 6 children.
