one year and waiting

in Adoption

One year waiting to be match, no to mention the 3 years added to that of tttcing. And...Easter is coming up.  It's so bittersweet seeing my nieces in their Easter dresses.  They are the light of my life, but a reminder of what I was unable to achieve.

Thanks for listening. Spring is just so hard for me. After Easter, Mother's Day will be right around the corner, yet again. 

Sorry, I guess I'm just a Debbie Downer today.  I have my better days and my rotten days.

Hang in there ladies, I'm living on Hope, but the wait and loss gets unbearable at times...

 

After 7 years of marriage and 5 unsuccessful IVFs, we have been granted the gift of adopting a baby boy, born 4/21/11.

    I'm praying that you get the call soon.  I know what you mean about Mother's Day.  I hated it when we were struggling with IF.  It was good after we adopted but now I hate it again since my losses (one was 3 days before Mother's Day).

    I really hope that you don't have to wait until next Easter of Mother's Day to celebrate you LO!

    I'm so sorry you're having such a tough time. Easter and Mother's Day was always so hard for me too as we went through our 4 year struggle to have a baby.  I'm sending lots of thoughts your way, and I hope you get the call soon and you're holding a baby on Mother's Day whether it be this year or next.

    My childhood pastor always used to say that the joy of Easter wouldn't have existed without the agony and hopelessness of Good Friday.  I don't know whether that statement will mean much to you -- but to me, it has meant a lot over the years, a reminder that even in the darkest, hardest times, there is still hope. 

    I'm sorry that you're having such a tough time.  Like PPs, I am sending lots of T&Ps your way to get a call very soon.  *hugs*

    Right there with you 15 months waiting and i hate this time of year. its all about birth and mothers uugghh. It was unfortunate that we lost our mother a couple of years ago but in some ways I am relieved that for at least right now Mothers day has been become just another day for me we dont have to brunch with anyone or go see anyone since there is no longer moms or grandmas in our lives. I would rather they were here and i would deal with it but kinda glad i dont have to. I completely understand where you are coming from hang in there and hopefully we will both get a match soon the wait is so hard
