I have prayed for your peace since reading your post. Grief was huge for me. I have dealt with this secondary infertility thing for seven years now. I have come full circle with feelings of sorrow about not being able to have any more bio kids and now, even though adoption for so long seemed like a consolation prize of sorts... it is getting easier. Last night I was talking to my SW and it occurred to me that I would be so sad if we weren't considering adoption. I actually really do want to adopt and I would still do it even if I could still have my own. If I hadn't run the race this far, this whole adoption thing wouldn't have shaped me into who I have become. I don't want to be without the prospect of adoption now, and it doesn't seem like second best - it seems like first best.

Together we have four bio-blessed arrows and we are waiting on the Lord to see how He wants to strengthen us for the battle through adoption of our new little girl and maybe more one day.


Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.
Psalm 127:3-5
