42!!

42!! That is the number of couples currently waiting for placement in South Carolina with our agency. The number just seems to get higher and higher. I read couples' profiles as they get posted and there are so many deserving families, but it is hard to see families go up that already have children especially ones that have biological children. I know I shouldn't think like that, but I just want ONE child!!!

Supportive Blogger

When I follow other women's' blogs...I start to feel like I know them even though I haven't ever met or talked to them. I have been following one blog since her and her husband went though fertility treatments and she follows mine. She was fortunate in that her IVF worked, and she had twin girls. It is kind of ironic because she just moved from New Hampshire to Mansfield, Ohio. (A town I grew up near and where my dad lived for a couple of years.) Now, I follow her through her life with twins.

I haven't been on here in several weeks because I have been so busy, there hasn't been much to say and honestly when I get on the blog I look at all the other blogs I follow and sometimes it makes me emotional. Anyway, she posted an encouraging comment a couple weeks ago with a quote that was much appreciated...

"I don't believe that God never meant for me not to have children. That's not my destiny; that's just a fork in the road I'm on... Clearly, God meant for me to develop more compassion, deeper courage, and greater inner strength on this journey to resolution..." ~Author Unknown
