Good morning, good people. It seems like yesterday that we said we’re entering the second half of the year and now we’re at the last few days of July 2022 already. Time and tide truly waits for no man.
I’ve recently an read article that suggested that, adoption completing a family was an odd notion or simply not true as the husband and wife were complete to begin with.
While I believe the husband and wife covenant to be sacred, a mystical union of two individuals becoming one. This union was meant to procreate. Making the inability to have a baby devastating.
Infertility in whatever form or illness is nasty. As a woman you feel totally robbed of one of the most basic abilities you’re meant to possess. Yes I know all the arguments that pregnancy does not define you as a women but most women having suffered infertility and it is a “suffering” indeed, would attest that the desire for a baby never leaves you.
The longing to be pregnant becomes obsessive. Should the months of not conceiving turn into years, one would look for alternate treatments. Should those fail most couples turn to adoption. The saying ‘most adoptions occur because of infertility’ rings true.
Adoption in a sense meets the needs of both the couple and the child. It is a miracle. A joining of souls and lives in the most amazing way.
Does it complete you? Well for me I find my wholeness in my faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
My journey from infertility to adoption has healed my heart in so many ways. The desire to be pregnant has been replaced by motherhood through adoption. A blessing I never take for granted. A joy that is abundant and a love that grows with each new day.
Love always…
