How are you handling quarantine?
Do you notice your friend who have
adopted or done fertility treatments seem so much calmer?
Well welcome to our world of waiting for
someone else to tell you: Your life can continue.
Your world is frozen in time, it seems like nothing is happening
then you look outside and the grass is growing.
Just when you have excepted this fate the beaches open in the south. The first thing that pops in your mind is "are you kidding they are so not ready for that phase" "They have no idea what they are doing". Just like in fertility/adoption when someone you didn't expect to get pregnant does and the shock hits you that it's not you.
You wait for that day to go back to normal.
But you can't go back because things have changed yet your excited to see what the future brings.

Quarantine is like fertility and adoption journies.
1. Quarantine - life seemed to be going great and then the bottom fell out from you and the goverment is now telling you when it will be safe to leave your home.
Adoption & Fertility - Yup your moving forward with life plans and now its time to start a family. Bam it's not that easy and now you have to put your trust in strangers!
2. Quarantine - Your trapped in your house, maybe your like Jeff and get to escape to work but you have no control of who you see or when.
Adoption & Fertility - Your trapped in this private world only you, your spouse/partner and the drs/social worker know about. You can't change what is happening.
3. Quarantine - You tune into the news to see when it will be safe to go back to school and work.
Fertility - You wait for that phone call that you are ready for the next step towards getting pregnant.
Adoption - You check your email multiple times of day waiting to see if you can have your profile shown.
4. Quarantine - Your hopes are dashed when they annouce 4 more weeks until a decision.
Fertility - Either your not ready for the next step
or sorry the test is negative.

Adoption - Your profile wasn't picked or
the birth mother decided to parent.
the birth mother decided to parent.
5. Quarantine - The goverment rolls out a return to life plan.
Fertility - Your pregnant but you still need to shoot needles in your ass to make sure you don't lose the baby......
Adoption - Your profile has been picked now you sit and wait.
