    Honey, ya'll are all so cute....the baby is adorable. All of her hair will fall out, and it will grow in what ever color it will be. Probably golden brown. MAYBE get more reddish brown as she gets older. I'm 71, have 2 boys, 6 grandchildren and 4 gr grandchildren with one on the way. I am in awe of the strength of the birth mother and of the two of you. God bless you all, and He will. You both will be wonderful parents.

    Great easy to understand video. Love the artistry to visually show the differences. I'm a man and my wife and I have been struggling with fertility issues for almost 4 years now. I recently got diagnosed with hypopituitary hypogonadism. I will begin Hcg & Clomid this week. I have a lot of knowledge on hormones both endogenous and exogenous so informative videos like this are highly appreciated. One thing I always wondered (which you explain in your video) is the mechanism of action Clomid has vs Letrozole. Clomid works on the brain and Letro works on the ovaries. My understanding is HCG works on the ovaries in women and testes in men similar to Letro. My question is I wonder if HCG is interchangeable with Letro since they both work on the hormone production front (opposed to the pituitary/brain front). I do not like the risks and side effects Clomid has so I have always tried to avoid Clomid. In the past I've taken Tamoxifen + Clomid together for TRT recovery purposes. Anyway, thanks for the video!

    Is there any way to adopt a kid without doing foster to adopt? Looking to adopt a kid, not a baby. Could you share any recommendations for specific websites or companies that you can adopt a kid from? Thank you!

    • @JAKSJourney
      @JAKSJourney 3 місяці тому

      Yes, there are a few options. There are "waiting children" which are children that are elligle for adoption after being in foster care; the parental rights have already been terminated. You would start the process knowing that within six months to a year they would be officially adopted. Another option is agencies that specialize in "disrupted adoptions". These tend to be international adoptions where families no longer feel they are the best family for a child; they tend to be significantly cheaper than the original international adoption and don't go through foster care to the best of my knowledge. Most will be state based so you will have to search within your state.

      Hello Rajah, sometimes the tests aren't all made the same and the intensity of the line can change. It could also be that your hcg is less though. Your doctor is correct. You need to get another hcg blood test to see what is happening for sure.
