Song from another adopting family


My sister told me to go check out this song on another family's blog. Then she said, "No, don't." Now I see why. I am sitting here crying for so many different reasons. As the lady on the other blog said, it sums up all of the months of trying and the emotional roller-coaster of fertility treatments. I have heard since we declared that we are trying to get pregnant that if we would just forget about it...that we would get pregnant. You can rest assured that no woman who had fertility problems would ever say this to another woman. For the longest time I felt like everyone was placing blame on me because I wouldn't quit worrying about becoming pregnant. I just knew that it was my fault that the fertility cycles didn't work. But those people were wrong and I was wrong. So many times I just prayed to God that I could be a mom. I cried out to Him to answer that prayer and he did. He opened my eyes and my heart to the child who will come from a far away land in need of a loving mother. So when people say to me, "Aren't you going to try to have a baby of your own?" I can assure them that no child I could ever conceive would be any more my own than the one that God led me to.

I found this video a couple weeks ago and I put it on my myspace. It tells so perfectly what we feel and what we go though. It's sad but I love it. I'm happy that you guys are going the adoption route. We are stuck right now with not having enough money--for more IF treatments or adoption :(
