Saturday was spent at a family get-together on Forest Lake. I think it was the first time in a while that the entire family was in the same place at the same time. What fun!! Jet skis, paddle boats, BBQ and chocolate cannot be topped as far as perfect combinations go. The day was full of memory-making, full of "isn't so-and-so such a better swimmer this year?", full of "Tiffany, watch this!" My heart was full and breaking at the same time- how can a fun day in the sun and water be so bittersweet? I LOVED being with my family. My neices and nephews who I absolutely adore just made me long for my children all the more and I kept thinking as I squeezed them a little harder, "If I love my siblings' kids this much- what will it be like with mine?" But that made me really sad and I am determined next year that there will be NO crying on the way home! Please continue to pray for us! We are continuing to explore our options for adoption and are needing extra support as we try to remain steady and hopeful......

Tiffany, we've never met, but your mom and I visit regularly during my visits to Dr. Connors. My husband and I have been dealing with infertility for 4 years now. We've not yet ventured into adoption, but I can really identify with a lot of the thoughts and emotions that you've shared on your blog. I'm wishing the best for you and your husband and look forward to one day getting a very exciting update from your mom:-) God bless!
