A friend was close to adoption several times, and it kept falling through. Finally an adoption was going to work out, and a week later they found out they were pregnant! Their family grew from 1 to 3 quickly, and now they have 4 total.<br /><br />God's timing is so perfect, even when we feel like it isn't. His ways are higher, even when we feel like they aren't. He is working in you now...keep allowing Him to mold you through this experience. And I know this is easier said than done! But the Lord is our hope--cling to that! He will see you through!Rhodahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13212494880096464958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922558431228740835.post-24054016315401941302012-07-07T13:35:51.634-05:002012-07-07T13:35:51.634-05:00Oh sweet friend, I'm so sorry.

Ours is a long story (infertility treatments, infant loss, embryo adoption, and a preemie) and it definitely wasn't what I would have imagined but ultimately it was what led us to our son. Here is a link to my blog http://roadlesstraveledblog.blogspot.com/. <br />I know it's hard & although I don't have any definitive answers or reassurance to offer I just wanted you to know that you are not alone and that one day, I can't say for certain how or when but I'm certain you will be a mother. Lots of love to you, prayers that you feel peace and are led in the direction God has for your life.rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06480554666969330506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922558431228740835.post-71572131314198909362012-07-04T17:04:32.638-05:002012-07-04T17:04:32.638-05:00I just ran across your blog via "fivedaysfive...I just ran across your blog via "fivedaysfiveways" and had to leave a comment. My husband and I went through 9 years of infertility. One failed IVF cycle, and one failed adoption (the birth mom changed her mind at the hospital). In the end we decided to use our last frozen embryos and just call it quits with the fertility route. The day before they were to transfer the embryos we got a phone call from the adoption place letting us know a mother had chosen our file. Long story short, we now have 2 boys, 7 months apart! <br />I am so sorry you are going through this but I am so glad you are a believer! We have a good God that loves us. The waiting is THE hardest part! I love the verse Montana posted from Proverbs 13:12 "Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when the desire comes, it is a tree of life."<br />I hope this was an encouragement :)<br />TessTess Powersnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922558431228740835.post-41036302167972297212012-07-04T02:17:46.102-05:002012-07-04T02:17:46.102-05:00It may not mean much coming from a stranger, but I...It may not mean much coming from a stranger, but I am so sorry!!

I was thirty-one before I finally got pregnant. Then, in delivery, they lost the heartbeat, like they did with my sister-in-law, whose baby's heart couldn't make it through the delivery. My heart sank, but into His arms. "Whatever, Lord, whatever..." Where that kind of resigned peace came from I would say could only be from God Himself! <br /><br />I pray this peace for you now, and that He gives you a blessed focus and purpose for THIS day, each day, as you wait for "someday."
