Hello everyone,
I am new to these boards and not sure if this the right forum. But I was hoping that someone could listen to my story.
My husband and I have been together for eight and a half years. We have a wonderful, loving and supportive marriage. He is truly my best friend and I adore him. We have been trying to have a baby for several years now. It has been a very painful journey that if nothing else, has showed me how true the love is that we hold in our heart for our future baby and family. We have had four unnsuccessful rounds of IVF, one ectopic pregnancy, and one very devestating miscarriage. And through it all, we have tried to maintain our faith and our strength, all while working towards achieving our dream of having a child.
For me, the desire to be a mother is so deep and so palpable, that at times it is overwhelming. My own mother left out family when I was just six months old. Growing up was difficult and the confusion of not understanding why my mother left often left me feeling horribly isolated. I was not quite sure when I was younger if I wanted to be a mother because I wasn't sure if I knew what it meant to be a mom.
And then I met my husband. And I fell in love. And I saw what love truly meant. And I knew that I absolutely had to share the love we had with a child.
And now, after many years of heartbreak and frustration, we have come to realize that our family may not look like what we imagined it -- but it will be our family nonetheless. And so we are starting on the adoption path.
We want to open our hearts and our home to a baby and the birth mother. We are willing to do whatever we can to give a baby everything he or she needs to have a wonderful life. If you know of anyone who is in a position of considering giving their baby up for adoption, we would love to be considered for this honor.
Thank you so much.
