When I saw this on Pintrest it completely expresses the way Daniel and I have been feeling. For quite some time Daniel and I tried to have another baby. It's definitely a roller coaster of emotions and so was giving up. You see many of your friends and family members getting pregnant and having more kids which I am grateful for because I get more nieces and nephews but it kind of pulls on your heart strings. There are many times you hide tears and feel guilty for not being able to give your one and only child siblings. Meanwhile, your child wonders why he doesn't have a brother or sister when all of his cousins and friends do. You have to go into why Mommy's tummy doesn't work anymore while trying to hold back tears.
Daniel and I have thought of it long and hard, prayed and fasted, consulted with experts, friends and LDS family services and have decided to try to adopt. We know that we will be in for another roller coaster ride of emotions but hopefully this one will have a happier ending. We are ever so grateful to have Cody already and love him more than words can express. He is one of the reasons we want to have another baby/child in our family. We hope you will keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we are now officially approved and will just be waiting to be picked.
