      Hi Synthia,
      I have CIDP and lupus so I have a low imune system as we all do. When my husband and I were first trying to conceive it was hard on my system and we decided to adopt. It was the best decision in our lives for us. Our daughter has brought us such love and happiness and my husband and doctor were afraid for my health at the time. Everyones situation is different though, many…MANY women have healthy babies so take good care of yourself and know when you are ready to be a mom you will be a good one. You have a lot of options if you cannot have one biologically there is one out there that will need you and love you more than you could ever imagine. Believe me.

      Take care,
