On my radio talk show last Monday I had two women on who each talked about the infertility treatments they went through and each ended up adopting. Their lives feel so complete and both had no idea that they could feel this tremendous love. My story is the same. I also went through infertility treatments and almost lost my life when I was punctured in a routine procedure for IVF. I ended up adopting two beautiful little girls from Guatemela and I wouldn't change anything. I am crazy about them!
I hope anyone that has suffered the pain of not being able to conceive naturally or with infertility treatments will consider adoption and the love it holds.
I give statistics on infertility on the radio program which you can listen to @ http://toginet.com/shows/adoptionjourneytomotherhood

Mother's Day
Happy Mother's Day to all women of the world!
Mother's ~~ they care for their children,, for spouses, friends, communities, animals, etc.
The list can go on and on as to what women bring to the table, to contribute, to give.
Who is a mother figure to her and how do you celebrate her?
As a birth mom that relinquished a child for adoption, mother's day was a painful celebration for me. I was always grateful to celebrate my mom and that part did bring me happiness but what lie beneath was my own anguish of not knowing my child.
We all have this place, this piece of us that needs healing. It's like we have a hole inside of us and we just learn to build around it.
Times are changing and we are better equipped to help moms who have lost a child to adoption, death, seperation, etc. We embrace each other more, we have support groups and therapy. We have self books. We look to each other for help and comfort and we receive it. Birth moms are more appreciated and revered than years ago and it's something that has helped us on the winding road of healing.
