A tale of that wacky world of infertility that has now spiraled into the fascinating world of Guatemalan adoption and now... Parenting a child who's smile lights up the world, has a laugh that would drive the meanest person to hysterics and who also happens to have a genetic deletion at 16p11.2.

You Are Not Forgotten
You are not forgotten
All of my infertile friends
Ones waiting on tests to start a cycle
Ones waiting on surgery to start a cycle
Ones waiting on menstration to start a cycyle
Ones waiting that are in limbo
Ones in the two week wait
Ones deciding whether or not to continue
Ones deciding how or if they want to build their family
Ones doing IUI
Ones doing IVF
Ones doing donor egg
Ones doing donor sperm
Ones doing FET
Ones doing the paperchase
Ones waiting on referral
Ones waiting for the call to bring their baby home
Ones waiting for a natural mother to choose them to parent their child
Ones waiting and wondering when it will be their turn
I love you all. I know how hard this weekend can be for many. Please know that you are not forgotten.

Thanks Julie! I hope the day is great for you! (I'll be in the Caribbean so don't feel too bad for me. ;-) )
ReplyDeleteOh man, that made me tear up.
ReplyDeleteJulie that is so sweet.
ReplyDeleteJust a few days ago I found myself wondering if I can even enjoy my first mother's day as a mom. I have spent mother's day crying and feeling down for YEARS, and find it hard to believe that I could ever enjoy a day that brought me so much pain in the past.
Well said Julie.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Julie - Very considerate. Have a WONDERFUL Mother's Day with Dylan.
ReplyDeleteOk, on a completely unrelated note, my "word verification" below had the word "turd" in it and that made me laugh :)
Thanks for that, Julie. :)
ReplyDeleteI hope your first Mother's Day is fantastic!
Thank you Julie!
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a great first official Mother's Day!
I hope your Mother's Day is special and wonderful and good, Julie. *hugs*
ReplyDeleteYeah, what you said! I definitely can't help thinking of all the people still on the other side. I'm secretly pulling for all of them.
ReplyDeleteWonderfully said! I am so excited to be celebrating my first mother's day, but I can help to think of so many other people and how they will be feeling....
ReplyDeleteHAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!
Happy Mother's Day Julie!
ReplyDeleteThat was really sweet. And a big happy first mother's day to you!
