Statistic shows that 6.1 million couples suffer from infertility. Why is it that no one ever talks about it? I am at that age where everyone around me is getting pregnant or has baby's on the mind. Together we are all learning so much that was never shared with us. We weren't prepared for the woes of trying to conceive. I have many friends who have had miscarriages. That is so sad to experience the joy and hope of a child to have it taken from you, only for a doctor office to tell you its very common, and you are supposed to find comfort in that. I have friends who have gotten pregnant effortlessly to have tumultuous pregnancies that leave the them fearing for their baby and their own health and well being. I have friends who have tried for years before becoming pregnant and those who have been blessed to get pregnant quick and have uneventful pregnancies. In any of these cases each women has a story to share, a journey. Some of those journeys end with a beautiful baby in your arms that makes all the past concern and anxiety seem absolutely worth it! They quickly forget the killer labor, or the months of "trying" and will do it all over again because the joy of being a parent and holding your child makes it all worth while.
There are others however who don't meet that same end, and what do they do? How do they cope with their sorrow, anxiety, and frustration when it doesn't end in a child. I'm going to be writing about my journey through infertility and the path that lead my husband and I to decide that adoption was the option for us. This blog will follow our adoption process.
We just decided adoption is the way and now we are on to raising/saving money and hopefully within a few years we will have our happy ending as well, with our baby in our arms, and it will make it all worth it!
