This week is National Infertility Awareness week. The theme is You're Not Alone. I often wish that I would've started blogging at the very beginning of our infertility struggles instead of just when we started our adoption process, my blog would've been very depressing. There was a lot of raw emotion back then that I shared with family & friends, only a few truly understood the pain I was experiencing. Let's be real. Infertility is depressing, but it is something that NEEDS to be talked about! I don't ever want anyone to feel ashamed of their bodies. I don't want anyone to ever feel like your body is broken. Those are feeling I had about myself. Please remember You're Not Alone. There are many people who understand, 1 in 8 women as a matter of fact. You don't have to struggle alone. Talk about it and know you can still be a mom with infertility. I'm living proof. Reach out to those who understand, chances are many of us are very willing to walk beside you through it all.
I began this blog while we were waiting to adopt our first child. It started with a 6 year battle with infertility and resulted in an amazing roller coaster ride to parenthood. We are the parents of two little blue-eyed rambunctious boys thanks to the incredible gift of adoption. This blog continues to be a journey through parenthood and open adoption. It has it's share of ups and downs. I'm happy to be enjoying it with God and my husband of 15 years. We hope you find joy in our journey.
