My guest on this show is Sue, a dear friend that was instrumental in my becoming a mom. It is a perfect choice to have her as my very first guest, for it was her friendship that got me through some of my roughest moments with my fertility issues. Since we had gone through the same invasive procedures at the same exact times, we became our own little “Club of 2″. Sue was my ear when I needed to vent, and my shoulder when I needed to cry. It was through her that I found some sense of peace and some specks of humor on my way to motherhood. (Yes, it’s true. We even talked about forming a rock ‘n roll band together called The InVitros.)

Sue is now an amazing mom of a 3-year old and is pursuing a second child, once again, through adoption. I followed in her footsteps on this adoption road. She suggested the agency for me to get started with, and she gave me her support and guidance through the process. The profile I designed turned out better than I could ever have imagined. And Sue was there to give advice on that as well. (For those of you who may not know, a profile is the story of a family or couple hoping to adopt, through pictures and words, that birthmoms look at to choose their adoptive family.)

Every once in a great while we befriend another woman that turns into the sister we never had…a friend that is a true treasure… one that we go through the trenches with. And we know that whatever else may happen in each other’s lives, we will always be there for one another. That describes my friendship with Sue, and I am honored to have this incredible woman and mommy as my guest on the debuting show of The Reproductive Challenged Woman.
