This page is for those who don't have a child living at home over whom they have legal, permanent guardianship. As such, it includes parents and step-parents whose children are permanently cared for elsewhere, those whose children are no longer living, temporary foster carers, and couples who have chosen to live child free.
I'll kick you out when you see a heartbeat or get matched with a specific child of your own. If this isn't good for you, let me know.
Also! Not all these blogs are active anymore. However, I'm keeping them here unless they're actually removed from the internet. Some of the archives are great, plus you never know when a blogger is going to pop up again out of the blue.
Email me at infertilefantasies at gmail dot com if you have anything to add or change.
