I really despise people who don't THINK before they speak (and sadly, I have to admit that I'm one of those people sometimes). I just pray that they are not trying to cause offense---which is true of me...I know that's not your point at all, but it's what caused the melt down. I still pray for you daily, woman. I keep you and your uterus in my mind and try to tell it to suck it up...And here I am making this about me...but know that I'm doing this to try and make you smile...I struggle to comprehend your pangs of doubt because I see this amazing woman who is trying so hard to have children...doing all that she can do...You will only be blessed further because of your long and patient wait...At least, I personally believe so...<br /><br />I love you. and david.<br />french kiss goes on my top 10 movies...deb sorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07029902586183335874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8478216116615461094.post-84038087121173142212011-02-25T21:37:13.664-07:002011-02-25T21:37:13.664-07:00Have I mentioned that I love you all... seriously ...Have I mentioned that I love you all... seriously LOVE.

My name is Amy and my husband and I are tryin...Hi! My name is Amy and my husband and I are trying to adopt too! I saw your profile on the LDS family services site today and thought I would check out your blog. And I SO feel you on this post. Just the other weekend I had a really similar experience at a baby shower of all places and had to just leave the conversation and walk away after telling the totally obtuse party that they had hurt my feelings. <br /><br />Anyway, I always tell my husband that every time I make friends with somebody who doesn't have a kid, they always get pregnant. Turns out that is true with adoption too as two of my new blog buddies who are hoping to adopt also just found out that they have been chosen by birthmoms. Seriously, I started emailing with one and she and her husband had nothing in sight, and then three weeks later - bam - baby on the way. Maybe some of that luck will rub off on you. I hope so. <br /><br />Anyway, if you want to be pen pals and swap stories, my email is paulandamyadopt@gmail.com and our blog is paulandamyadopt.blogspot.com. <br /><br />~AmyAmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10462509372537876654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8478216116615461094.post-64406001335459665112011-02-24T11:52:53.238-07:002011-02-24T11:52:53.238-07:00It's a small world after all, It's a small...It's a small world after all, It's a small world after all.....okay now that I have that song possibly stuck in your head (did it work?!)Where do I begin? Becca and I are super close. In fact, when I struggle and have struggled in the past I have turned to Becca. She is a dear friend of mine! She told me the other day you were in the same ward. You are so lucky to have her! Give her a hug for me! <br /><br />Anyway that is not why I orginally commented. I must say that people really don't understand what asking "trivial" questions to them do to those of us that don't see them as quite so "trivial". I hate those questions more than anything... The worst one that we had recently out here was a man Clay works with who found out that Clay was "mormon" and asked why Clay was sinning and didn't have 15kids by now. I would have slapped him! <br /><br />You cannot judge a book by its cover, plus you must rememeber that ogres are like onions because they have layers that must be peeeled back a little at a time. What I mean by that random movie quote is that life is often like that, we are in the refiners fire and each layer of our lives must me disected. It is good to have a cry now and again. It helps us to heal and in fact like you said- you are doing fine because you are crying (weird, but so true). I'm so very sorry that IUI didn't work. We pray for you all the time. I know that you will be a great mother when the time comes and that you won't have lost your motherly instinct----I don't think that is possible! :P You my dear an amazing woman and express yourself so eloquently!

There was much crying and wallowing, but also some fun and laughter.

Yes...I am mourning with you, crying tears with you. Yes, it is OKAY to cry, scream, cry and cry again, it is normal and anyone who tries to tell you otherwise has never been there. I know how you are feeling, and I remember that time in our lives, those feelings don't last forever, but for a few days it is hard. Oh Lora.... my heart is sad with you. But I will keep praying and holding on with you.

I am SO sorry that people are so insensitive and rude. I wish I could help you, I am here if you need ANYTHING ever! ((HUGS))<br /><br />I hope you can find comfort and peace in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. When things don't make any sense and it feels like we're not getting any answers... the Spirit can bring peace to our lives. <br /><br />I just have to comment on the movie quotes... love them!!!<br /><br />#1 Legally Blond <br />#2 French Kiss<br /><br />love ya...

You can't have morning without night. I guess sometimes our nights and days are balanced. But I see some times in our lives as Alaska Winters. Way too much night/darkness/unknown/trials compared to the daylight and blessings. Bring on the Alaska Summer!!<br /><br />You are handling this very well. Crying is necessary. The comfort will come.Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15375903038996798205noreply@blogger.com
