I am the worst one for wisdom and advice. I will tell you that not all children arrive in families via the uterus that bore them. I can tell you that I physically endured every and I mean every fertility option available to me and I was continually thinking and raging that I could not conceive. Now take note here... I am putting it in all caps:
FROM THE MOMENT... AND I MEAN THE MOMENT I HELD MY SON, ALL MY QUESTIONS WERE ANSWERED. I AM MEANT TO BE A MOM, THE MOTHER OF MASON,A BABY CHOSEN FOR ME AND A FAMILY CHOSEN FOR HIM. THEY PLACED HIM IN MY ARMS AND I LOOKED AT HIM AND DH AND ALL I COULD THINK OF WAS "I HAVE WAITED A LIFETIME TO MEET YOU BABY, I AM YOUR MOMMY". IT WAS A RED THREAD MOMENT. I see parents every day and I often wonder how much they appreciate their children. My child came into my life and has filled my heart and home with boundless joy. In the 17 months I waited for him, he spent 6 months with his biological mother and a year in the baby home. So while I have achieved my dream , I am ever grateful for the tremendous sacrifice Mason's biological mother made. Perhaps the baby meant for you is just starting her or his journey to you.

You will hold your baby and your dreams will come true. When you have hard days and feel a little lost or hopeless, remember that you have a forum friend praying for you!

Do you know that I was actually happy to hear a friend got pregnant a few months ago? shocking I know. Apparently I have had some growth in that area. Heck I may even send a shower gift!
