Infertility can bring with it feelings of loss, brokenness, hurt, and confusion. For many, the one thing that they thought would be certain is now creating a cloud of sadness. When living with infertility, we are often faced with decisions that we never dreamed that we would have to make.
Sometimes people choose to adopt after finding that they cannot bear a child, while others feel called to adopt. With either option, the joy of parenting takes on another dimension as you may find yourself grappling with understanding your adopted child, managing a relationship with biological parents, or making the decision to adopt domestically or internationally.
I understand these feels of loss, overwhelm and sadness as I have lived with infertility and have also adopted.
