A friend sent me this article last night, which really really really hit home for me, especially the first couple. I always feel like I have to justify why adoption isn't for us and prove that we are okay without children. http://www.cnn.com/2015/04/23/living/feat-infertility-when-adoption-not-option/index.html
So, I followed the link to the blog of the woman in the first couple: http://everupward.org/
And, I found this quote that I could have written myself (swap out IVF for IUI): "My story of figuring out how to stop proving that I’m okay. To stop proving that saying no more to IVF is okay. To stop proving that saying adoption isn’t for us is okay. To stop proving that childless, childfree, is okay. To stop proving it, and to really own it."
It's such a good feeling to find other people in the same boat who know exactly how you're feeling.
Thanks for reading ![]()
