How we got to this point?
6 months after Jim and I got married, I found out I was pregnant. I miscarried at 6 weeks pregnant. We were shocked. But as we were told over and over by everyone that at least we knew I could get pregnant(the worst thing anyone could say to someone who just had a miscarriage). So we continued to try on our own, but after a year of trying on our own we knew something was wrong. So began the journey of fertility treatments, we had no idea what we were in for. Months after months of medicine, shots, IUI's, and lots of money, we were told our only option was to try IVF. We went back and forth on whether to stop treatments and try to adopt or go ahead and try IVF. We decided there would always be the "what if" factor, so we decided to move forward with the IVF. For anyone that has ever gone through this it is the most amazing, and stressful experience. We were thrilled to find out I was pregnant with twins! We thought for sure that this was it for us. I miscarried at 8 weeks pregnant, we were devastated, heartbroken and angry. We didn't understand how this could happen again. It took us a while to realize that maybe God had another plan for us and that is how we came to the decision to adopt. And while there are days that we are still angry and upset(more often than not), we know that adoption was the best decision for us!!! We are so excited to become parents!
