The thing I love about this community, is that sometimes another blogger can take feelings and put them into words better than you ever could yourself.
For me, this post from The Unexpected Trip captured what I've been feeling in huge waves since Babykins was born, but that I could never describe in any coherent way.
I am in love with these words.
Parenting after chronic infertility. Our story involves working with CCRM after experiences with diminished ovarian reserve, severe male factor infertility, 4 reproductive endocrinologists, 8 donor embryos, 2 IVFs, 6 FETS, 1 fresh donor egg cycle, 1 failed agency egg donor, 15 vitrified donor eggs, 4 surgeries for her, 1 for him, 3 miscarriages, 1 chemical and 5 canceled cycles. After seven years, one amazing couple set us on a new path by choosing us to be parents for their son.

Thank you for sharing... such a beautiful post.
ReplyDeleteYou are so kind! I'm absolutely delighted that those words spoke to you. Of course I was thinking about you when I wrote that bit about adoption. Reading your story has been inspirational for me and I find myself thinking of you and your son often (especially as I off-and-on imagine adoption in our future). You make me happy that I'm part of this blogging community.
