Win-Win Situation

The wishbone from our turkey has been sitting on the top of our stove since Thanksgiving. We forgot about it, but finally decided to break it today. I'm sure we both had very similar wishes, so I wasn't too concerned with breaking the bigger piece...even though I did. Maybe my wish will come true!?

Everything Happens For A Reason

Through this journey of becoming parents there is one saying that I hear over and over again..."Everything happens for a reason." Well I found the best quote on Pinterest...
"The Hardest Part of accepting the saying "Everything happens for a reason" is waiting for that reason to come along."

Holding On

A friend posted this song on Facebook and it hit me when I listened to it. My relationship with God has been strained over the last few months. I'm finding it hard to figure out why so many people around me are happily announcing baby news and we still have no news. I get on Facebook and someone is pregnant...I go to work and I get another email about a pregnancy. I'm happy for everyone, but when I read or hear about those happy moments I "sink".

There were so many little ones dressed up for Halloween last night. We enjoyed passing out candy, but wishing we could be taking our little one around the neighborhood. Anyway, enjoy the song and maybe it will speak to you...

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
