Cesar and I have struggled with infertility for over 5 years....Lots and lots of disappointments, heartache, not understanding why and questioning of God's plan for us. Why can "everyone" else get pregnant but not me? Am I not good enough to be a mother? Again and again the announcements of friends and family members expecting.....but when was it our turn? when are we going to be able to give that exciting announcement? It is hard to understand but over the years God has made us stronger and has been there for us every step of the way. About 2 years ago while going thru infertility treatments we felt the call to adopt....but we weren't ready, I mean its so expensive and if we adopt does that mean we are giving up hope of me getting pregnant? So we put that in the back of our minds and continued with infertility treatments along with the disappointments, cost of the treatments, the headaches, the sickness, the shots, the bloodwork, ultrasounds, moodiness, dizziness, pain and more heartache.....and still no pregnancy....but yet the word adoption became louder and louder in our hearts! So the end of 2012 came and Cesar and I prayed and decided that we would end the fertility treatments for good!
Once we made that decision I felt a huge burden being lifted from me and a new excitement....the excitement that the word adoption had taken over our hearts and we had this peace that this is what God had planned for us at this time....so in the beginning of 2013 we have started our adoption journey! Yes, adoption too has its ups and downs but we are so excited to see what God has in store for us and hopefully some day soon we will be able to make OUR exciting announcement!
Thank you for joining us on our journey....We would appreciate all the prayers we can get. Unfortunately adoption is very expensive (approximately $30,000) and God knows we don't have an extra $30K laying around....but we do have faith that our God is a big God and no amount is to large for him! So please pray for us and if you can help us financially as well we would greatly appreciate it! Every little bit counts! May God bless you!
