But it doesn't mean I don't want that experience too. However, the overall goal is indeed to have our own child. I could live with not giving birth to my own but I would definitely mourn not having the experience.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17147455391784138925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6238453401926739979.post-78746045077271271342014-02-24T21:09:17.718-05:002014-02-24T21:09:17.718-05:00Hi from ICLW.

When my husband and I made the decision to quit TTC due to my health and switch to adoption, the grief I went through was at times almost unbearable. I honestly had to grieve that baby who could've been a little bit of me and a little bit of my husband, as well as the pregnancy announcements I so wanted to make. But God got me through that and now we are approved and waiting to adopt. I have no idea how long this journey will be but thankfully God knows what He's doing and that is always a great comfort to me!Rhondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07549803190101959114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6238453401926739979.post-16534109355179710272014-02-24T18:05:54.719-05:002014-02-24T18:05:54.719-05:00Haha.

I still do, though I am open to other options. <br /><br />I think that some of the pain of infertility will go away after children; however, infertility will likely change us forever. Hopefully, we will be more kind, patient, and empathetic at least.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04299992025215585620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6238453401926739979.post-57845234960179372822014-02-24T18:01:07.742-05:002014-02-24T18:01:07.742-05:00We are still praying for a biological child and pu...We are still praying for a biological child and pursuing infertility tests and treatment; at the same time, we realize that God may have other plans. As Proverbs 19:21 says, "Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand." God is still good if He chooses not to give us biological children. We trust Him to guide us.

Although I would love to get pregnant, I'm perfectly OK with adoption. For me, pregnancy isn't my goal. Being a mother is...and whether that's by pregnancy, adoption, or surrogacy that is OK by me as long as I'm a mama. But there are some experiences that I would definitely miss out on if I adopted, and I would probably have a small part of regret on that. Realistically though, pregnancy is such a small time period in your life - I think your heart would fill with the other memories and it would eventually become very small, if not disappear. Especially if God calls you to adopt, which I definitely think He does.
