July 8, 2016-
It was a normal Friday for us and Joe was at work and Brinley and I were getting ready to head down to the pool for a late afternoon swim. I had been keeping up my infertility blog with our updates or what we were going through, mainly as a outlet for me to get things out of my head. I don't get comments at all on my post, but like I said I just was writing these post for myself and and support for others. I had met some wonderful women that were going through infertility at the same time or at the same clinic. It has been a great source of comfort to have my blog.
I got an email saying I had a comment on my blog post and I read it on my email saying I would like to reach you, and asking for a good e-mail or phone number but left her email there for me to reach out to her.
So I thought I would email her back...all I knew was her first name. I ask her if she wanted to talk infertility or vent and offer her any of my support.
Brinley and I walked down to the pool and an hour later I got an email back. It was a long email.
I sat down and started reading it. It said she found me on Instagram and it took her to my blog. She was once in the fertility world with failed IUI they went the IVF route. They had a few kids and no embryos left, but still felt like they wanted to grow their family. So they did IVF again and got twins. They now were past their childbearing years and still had a handful of embryos. They are a faith filled family and knew they wanted to donate the rest of their embryos.
She was offering the greatest gift.
Like traditional adoption these parents are entrusting another couple to raise these beautiful babies. Even though you are the adopted parent they are your DNA kids and I feel like you are lead to a child or embryos that are meant for you to be apart of a certain family.
I can't stop but to think, this day may change the rest of our lives.
