Thanks for doing this. As I watch my own blog morph from loss & infertility to divorce & potentially single parenting, I've wondered whether my friends would continue with me along the journey.

I strongly recommend you adding a women's health advocacy category. It's amazing to me the number of women who hand over their reproductive and family health to their care providers. We cannot expect improvements in maternal health and fetal/newborn health outcomes until we take responsibility for and participate in care decisions!

(And yes, of course I'm biased. :) )

Any possibility of adding a divorce/single parenting category?

What about vegetarian and environmentally conscience families? I guess most of my blog is focused on that.

Just found your awareness community and love the idea. I'm an adult adoptee blogger and would love to be added. Bless you.

What about HPV (high-risk) and infertility? It is not recommended to take hormones with HPV high-risk. Although not proven, doctors suspect that hormones encourage HPV to develop (you can have latent HPV for years but "something" sets it off to "grow"). So, women with HPV High Risk cannot use donor ovules ... or donate their own ovules unless they want to put themselves at risk of not overcoming their HPV. So, the only choices are no children, adoption or DE+surrogate. Any experience here with actual mothers or to-be moms who have had to overcome, go around HPV high risk?
