Adoption Option: What Do You Say To Someone Who Is Struggling With Infertility?

A lot of couples are becoming more and more open about their struggles with infertility.  Many turn to their family and friends for support and encouragement.  What can you say to a friend or family member that will help them feel better when they come to you?

Adoption Option: Adoption Is A Miracle

A couple years after we adopted our daughter, we started thinking about adding another child to our family.  We had a lot of options to consider.  Do we want to adopt again? Or do we want to go back to the doctor and try the infertility treatments again?  My husband really wanted to try to have a biological child.  That was hard for me to be on board with because I had worked so hard to let that part of me go.

Adoption Option: Our Journey Down The Road Of Infertility

The roads of life can take many forms. Some roads are long and some are short. Sometimes they are smooth with not many curves or bumps and have beautiful views. Others might be dark and long, with a lot of turns and hills or mountains. They can also be full of big pot holes and bumps. Sometimes you have to, or want to, turn back. But, when you come to the end of a road like this, the views are more spectacular and the peace is greater.

My husband and I have been down these roads.
