friends!! I love to share this post ever year around this time in honor of NATIONAL INFERTILITY AWARENESS WEEK as a sweet reminder that God never left us. He was in every single detail.
This journey, man.
INFERTILITY + ADOPTION + WAITING
Those three words are much more than words to me. They represent so much of our story and journey over the past almost 11 years of marriage.
Where infertility and adoption intersect super duper wrecks me because it changed the game. In all those years waiting and wanting things to happen my way, I never would have thought I would be thankful for all those times I was told no. Every single no was a step towards our Evie girl. She is the gift. She is why we “didn’t get what we wanted”. But actually we did. We got exactly what we wanted. Her.

I want to share my very first post sharing our struggle to grow our family. It totally brings me to my knees. And YES, I haven’t stopped needing Him and I have most definitely needed Him more and more as the years have passed.
God was in it. He knew I would share and love and lock arms with others longing to grow their families. This is my heart’s cry… YOU ARE NOT ALONE and God has a plan. THE BEST PLAN!

Yes. Dru and I have officially been labeled an “infertile” couple. To be honest, I regret so much not posting or journaling about this whole journey. I know that I have found such comfort in other stories of couples struggling with infertility. I dream one day of being able to share this very long and difficult journey with someone who needs to hear it to get them through.
You are one of the strongest faithful person I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. God bless you KB
And God bless you! Thanks for reading 🙂
Thanks for sharing this friend!
thanks love for reading 🙂
I was diagnosed with PCOS a few years ago. And now that I’m married the fear of not being able to get pregnant terrifies me. Have been married for 1 1/2 yrs, and even when we are not *trying* (right now doesn’t seem like the best time due to finances) the not knowing kills me.
Don’t live in fear, friend. Lean in to His promises and the truth of God’s word. Even when our hope is shaken, He is our rock! Have a blessed day 🙂
