My thoughts as I sat down to write this were "here goes nothing!"  I have no idea if anyone is going to read this, let alone become a "follower", but if one person is encouraged by my journey it will have been worth it.  To come right out and say it, and you might have guessed by the title, the journey I'm referring to is one of infertility.  In all actuality, it's not just my journey. It's as much my husband, David's, as it is mine.  I mention him because this experience would have been that much more difficult without the loving, tender support he has provided.  But, what has gotten us both through the knowledge that there is little chance of having our own children is the comfort from our Heavenly Father.  Knowing that God is in control reassures both of us.  We look forward to what He has in mind for our future together as a family because we know He has something exciting in store!

David and I are currently considering adoption.  Even when we were dating, and it was clear our relationship was serious, we discussed adoption as an option.  I will get into the background in later blogs, but I knew years ago that infertility was most likely an issue for me.  So, it helped David's case that he had three adopted sisters and was comfortable with the prospect from the get-go.  Right now, there are so many avenues available to couples seeking to adopt that it can be overwhelming.  We've been to some informational meetings and looked at websites and talked to couples who have adopted.  Still, we're waiting on the Lord and wanting to make sure that it's not our selfish desires that are leading our decisions.  As I continue the blog, I'll be updating the progress we're making and sharing the highs and lows of our journey.  So, buckle up and get ready to enjoy the ride with us!
