For a long time, I didn't think I would ever meet the right woman and thus, never become a father. But I did. Yay! I'm a father and I'm happy! <em><strong>I'm so happy for you - it's hard when things don't match up to our brain's calendar.</strong></em> I can relate a little to your post.

I’m so happy for you - it’s hard when things don’t match up to our brain’s calendar.

We struggled over a year trying to get pregnant and I was filled with so many emotions during that time, like when other people in my family or group of friends would announce a pregnancy and finally when I was pregnant I will never ever forget the feeling when the phone call came from my doctor's office. I'm sure as an adoptive mom you know the same feeling, like you said, it's not just about bearing children. How insensitive the church person was and I am sure it took EVERYTHING in you to not turn around and throw the flower at him. People have no idea the impact of their words. <em><strong>Emotions run amuck hugh? Yes, I find it's often the littlest things we do and say (or don't) that have the deepest impact.</strong></em> I too have tears in my eyes.

Emotions run amuck hugh? Yes, I find it’s often the littlest things we do and say (or don’t) that have the deepest impact.

I went home feeling worthless. I wish I had held onto the anger and not the extreme sadness. I am so glad that you received your other extreme.

My livid moment came last year as I walked through the church. I went home feeling worthless. I wish I had held onto the anger and not the extreme sadness. I am so glad that you received your other extreme.

Happy Mother’s Day

Oh those rainbows are so far away sometimes aren’t they? My heart goes out to you, experience is the only true teacher and you can’t know this feeling unless you’ve been there. Sending hugs and prayers your way!
