Good morning beautiful people. The past two weeks have been amazing.
We had the awesome privileged to have met a couple last week who have chosen to make adoption an option. Having endured years of infertility and fertility issues, they have now taken their initial steps into adoption and their journey has just begun. Just like that, decision made and the ball is rolling.
The steep path to this decision is not easily forgotten and once again I would like to emphasize that more empathy is required for those who struggle infertility.
Words are powerful and we should use them carefully. Many a truth is spoken in jest. Jesting can cut extremely deep for those working through the processes and procedures of fertility.
Statements like “you shooting blanks” and the like is not funny or cool. Not everyone may fully identify with the struggle of infertility and that is not the expectation but kindness is. Be kind.
It is often said that we each have our own crosses to bear may we find it in our hearts to speak only what is necessary. Rather say nothing than saying something that may inflict insult or hurt on someone else. May our words be flavored in love and spiced with sincerity.
This week we smile broadly and are hearts are warmed as we see a clear path to an orphaned child filling an empty home. Born in the heart ❤
