Dealing with Infertility

[dympnha]

I tried for 16 years to get pregnant. Adoption is no longer an option. Frankly, I foolishly spent so much on infertilty treatment that there’s not much left. I’ve decided to either hope for a miracle or make due with the gifts I’ve been given. Mainly, I’m concentrating on my dear husband.

The only thing I can say if anyone has an infertilty problem don’t spend years on treatments. You’ll be out of money, emotional strength and your marriage may endangered. Don’t do what I did. Don’t wait until you’re in your 40s to start thinking about adoption.

Good for you Chovy! There are so many children in need of a home! May God Bless you with many children!

Chovy:

After much prayer and discussion, we have decided to adopt locally through our state’s foster care program. There are 200 children available for adoption in our rather small state, and we are confident that there is one or two out there who would love to join our family. We are still open to conceiving too, but right now our focus is on adopting. Thank you again to all who have responded on the forum and through prayers!

Congratulations on your decision, you will be blessed !

We, luckily, have not had fertility issues but some of our friends have. One family adopted through Catholic Social Services, they were blessed with 3 babies even though they were only “suppose” to have 2 . Their daughters are full biological sisters, 4 years apart and they have a son in the middle. I don’t know the details of their adoptions, they had all their children when we met them and it just doesn’t come up. Another family went to an orphanage in Mexico with no intention of adoption, they went just to help out down there and ended up getting a little 2 year old girl

I’ll pray that everything works out for you and your family is made complete

Thank you for this post dympnha. I’m so sorry for your heartache. I know that you’ve helped others here. I pray that God blesses you abundantly.

Have you considered foster parenting or foster to adopt? In almost all states it is Free and you are giving children from infant to a bit older a great chance.
Our very good friends went this route, they fostered to adopt their daughter, she was 9 when she came to live with them and that was 3 yrs ago, our friends are in their late 40’s and this girl has brought so much joy to them and they to her, they do so much, camping all summer (something this child never got to do before) they are of course raising her Catholic (she wasn’t even baptized when they got her and she didn’t even know who God was) my daughter is great friends with their child, she is this wonderful girl and they too never thought they would have a child and now… it is just a delight to see their darling happy family and it cost them nothing to adopt her, not one cent. Pray about it, they did, for 3 years they prayed that God would show them what to do and then they knew this was from God and they had her within two months of their decision. Please don’t give up all hope.
