"It's a horrible feeling to have when you want your body to do something that it is supposed to do yet won't — especially something that is supposed to be so 'natural' as having a baby. You feel inadequate and somehow 'less than.' We tried everything, and I mean everything, to have a baby. We longed and dreamed for a little family. We finally got pregnant with twins! But my body had a rare complication that required emergency surgery and though our babies were healthy, more sadly than I can ever properly recount, they were too young to survive.
We had wanted to adopt all along, but weren't educated in it and hadn't been ready to take the leap of faith. When we got the call that we had been chosen by our very brave birth mother, it was a TRUE MIRACLE. It was a magical Thanksgiving Eve when we brought our baby home. We pinch ourselves everyday and say, 'How lucky are we?!!' I can never fully express how amazing adoption is but we are the most grateful people in the world because we've been given the gift of adoption and, of course, our baby girl."
