[quote=Anonymous]I had a similar experience in terms of deciding to convert on my own years after marrying a Jewish man.  Did a conservative conversion but practice as Reform.  Also converted my kids (you don't mention but most conservative shuls would not consider your children Jewish but easy to "convert" them while still young if you want).  Worked individually with Bernice Weiss, a rabbi here in DC who focuses on conversions and went to the mikvah at Adas.  The Beit Din was not a big deal as everyone was happy for us and were extremely nice.  You should definitely talk with your rabbi (if the rabbi is anything other than extremely nice about it I would be surprised.  He/she may not even realize that you are not Jewish based on the fact that you have been attending services, etc.  It has been over 20 years now and it has been worthwhile to me to be in the same religion as my kids and DH and I am good with the theology of liberal Judaism so it worked out for me. Best of luck with your process.   [/quote]
