“The positive can seem so far away, but we are all worth being ‘Mommy’ one day.”
“We spent Thanksgiving with our family who would meet Luca for the first time… and say their goodbyes. When he left, he took a piece of my heart with him.”
“I was away on a work trip, and I got a message on Facebook. My heart leaped. The seed was planted.”
“I may stand here and not always recognize the girl looking back at me, but I know deep down she is still built for greater things than I could ever imagine, and that is a beautiful thing.”
“She said, ‘It’s a boy!’ I hugged her so tightly. Instant family. She handed us a tiny 6lb 5oz baby boy with the cutest lips I’d ever seen. The pregnancy may have been unplanned, but this little boy was no accident.”
“We were up against time, and we had to make a decision right away since this baby boy was across the country.”
“Our surrogate was just as upset as us and vowed to keep trying until we have a baby in our arms. We had to remember to be grateful we still had 7 other embryos and a chance to try again.”
“Infertility is complex, it is all consuming, and more than anything else…it is unpredictable.”
“With 6 failed adoptions in 8 years, we were uncertain we’d have any more children.”
“‘Don’t get your hopes up. The sample didn’t look good. In fact, I’m not even going to charge you for the visit today.’ As we left the clinic, I had an empty feeling in the pit of my stomach. This was never going to work.”
