I don’t even know how to say thank you for all the kind words and cyber hugs from all of you. Many of you, I know and I really couldn’t ask for better friends – I don’t know what I’d do without you. But so many of you are just out there, on your own journeys and you don’t know me anymore than you know those you pass on the highway, yet you stop to give me encouraging words and share stories of hope. What a blessing each of you have been to me and to my husband. We know we aren’t alone on this adoption road (or the rough terrain of infertility) and it’s nice to be reminded of that. So thank you – all of you – for your love and your words and your prayers. I know many will rejoice when we finally bring our little one home.

1/06 diagnosed with PCOSI Would Gather Children
Some would gather money along the path of life. Some would gather roses and rest from worldly strife, but I would gather children. From among the thorns of sin I would seek a curl and a gorgeous toothless grin. For money cannot enter in the land of endless day. And roses that are gathered soon will wilt along the way. But, oh, laughing children, as I cross the endless sea And gates swing wide in heaven I can take them in with me. ~AnonomousArchives

Although the adoption community can be fractious, there is a world of support out here.
Good luck, and try to keep in mind that life always makes more sense when you can look at it backwards. Eventually, you’ll be able to do that.
Robyn, continued hugs and prayers. I know this must be so hard on Paul and you, and I truly thank you for taking the time to keep us updated. HUGS and more HUGS.

We have had three failed matches and are waiting to see if this one will conclude on 9/25. We feel your pain and want you to know that you are not “statiscally” alone. There are many PAP who have been in your shoes.
Hugs.
Well here is something I never thot I would be doing….writing to a blog. It seems a bit impersonal….but maybe that’s because I’m older than dirt.
I thot Sandra’s comment was great…”life makes more sense when you look at it backwards.” From our perspective and living in the middle of the situation, life often makes no sense at all. But what God is looking at in your lives is a beautiful work of art. We can’t understand that now, but I think as He sends you that perfect baby, you will have more understanding. Maybe we won’t understand much in this life, but we will see it all in the next life, and say…of course, now I understand.
In eager anticipation of what is going to happen next.
Love.
