I've worked in foster care and adoptions for several years, but a few years ago was diagnosed with cancer, which ultimately led to infertility treatments (and finally to embryo adoption, actually; we're in process and planning for our first implantation in January). I'm so glad I found your blog.<br /><br />Your letter was great, too. Our first RE was pretty much a mess. Dirty examination room, pretty insensitive, and I noticed when he met me the second time, he looked up at my wife and I, and called her by my name. Sure, I have a unisex name... but he'd already met me once. I also noticed that the file in front of him was for a different client. Really discouraging experience. The second RE was nice, but super-expensive. <br /><br />The Embryo adoption agency we used felt much better; less business, more human.<br /><br /><br />I'll enjoy following your blog.Addisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12732176527883570863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5982682332312205751.post-81888520504031372792012-11-06T08:34:22.198-08:002012-11-06T08:34:22.198-08:00I was so very very lucky to have the most wonderfu...I was so very very lucky to have the most wonderful RE and his staff was even better. But I have heard about many others who did not have the same experience and that makes me very sad. I really do hope the fertile world and Drs in general understand the affect of infertility on a couple and a woman. I was more than happy to pay out of pocket for my treatments as they were not covered by insurance.....but I was among the lucky who could afford it and our RE did his best to keep costs in line. I have been hearing about more and more policies offering enough coverage for a full IVF and meds and I am happy to see that but there is still much improvement needed. Starting with RE's is a great place and you letter hits on so many great points. I hope this makes it around the blogospere.<br />kdkdactylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02123983421783902463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5982682332312205751.post-33475095911983751732012-11-05T19:39:17.905-08:002012-11-05T19:39:17.905-08:00Very nice post!!
