I need some encouragement ladies :(

I don't post here much -- but you guys have been so lovely in saying I don't have to lurk even though we don't have a baby yet.  I am in desperate need of some encouragement today.

I'm totally overwhelmed with work projects, home projects, trying to decide if we're going to do another fertility cycle, our social worker is coming over this weekend for a visit.  And all I can think of is I just wish there was a light at the end of our tunnel.  If I just knew there was a baby there for sure (whether it was a viable pregnancy, or an adoption placement, or something) I feel like I could deal with things so much better than I am...because I would be hopeful and happy.  And I'm just not today.  I'm very sad and not the least bit hopeful.  We're coming up on 2 years since we stopped using b/c and it's so depressing.

I know several of you have struggled with PL and IF and if anyone could understand, you could.  Thanks for listening!

Bless your heart.  I am not sure what to say...so I'll just send you a virtual hug   Even though I am sure that you have heard this so many times and it's way easier said than done just keep your faith and keep your chin up.  You can always vent, share news, or just whatever on this board.

You can come vent/release here any time. 

I hate that the last adoption fell through for you guys.  I am here if you ever need to 'talk'.

best of luck in your journey!

May you have peace in your life with where you are right now and continued hope for where you are going. Know that just the right child, whether conceived by you or adopted, is getting ready for you and your family too...it just may not be time yet  

I'm the oldest of 5 adopted children and recently had my own child (unplanned), but am coming to understand that nothing happens by accident.  Blessings abound because things don't always go according to our own plans!

Oh honey, I'm so sorry you're having such a hard time.  If you have any questions about fert. treatments, I'm a good resource, as is the SAIF board (I could ask for you, if you are uncomfortable posting there) and the TTTC board (are you already there?). 

Anyway, please know that we're here for you always.  [[[HUGS]]]

I am so sorry!  I know that this has been a difficult few years for you.  I have a very good friend that is unfortunately following a similar path- it's not easy and it's hard to know what to say/do to help you feel better- I understand.  Just know what pp said, everything truly happens for a reason and your child is out there, they are just waiting for the perfect time.  I know the wait is hard, but it will happen and that little smile will make up for all of the years of waiting.  I'll be thinking about you!

I am so sorry that everything is overwhelming right now.  I hope you can find peace in the midst of all of it, and I wish you and your DH the best!

I'm so sorry you are having to go through this right now! We are definitely here with open ears if you ever need to vent. We all do it from time to time.

 Good luck with everything! Your baby is out there, one way or another. It will happen sooner or later.

I'm really sorry you are going through such a tough time.  I wish I had the perfect words to make you feel better. Best of luck to you.

Thanks so much ladies -- yesterday was just one of those days!

I know you posted this a few days ago (I haven't been nesting much), but wanted to tell you that I'm so sorry that it has been so hard and frustrating for you.  You're in my prayers!  ((HUGS))
