The New Year and Finally Some Hope

I have to say that we came into this New Year with little hope that our dreams would come true. It has been a very tough fall and winter beginning with my miscarriage and the return of my mysterious and still undiagnosed digestive problems and then the worst came true and Kevin broke his leg on November 11th, 2011. This is his first fracture in 22 years and his worst one to date.  Thankfully directly following his fracture my digestive issues seemed to go silent which allowed me to do what was needed to care for my family during this time. Unfortunately on Jan 4th they returned with a vengeance and are continuing to behave in that manor. We are hoping to do a Colonoscopy in the near future and find the cause this time and a treatment that will hopefully put this in remission. The reason I share this with you is that we believe this is and has been our greatest test to date of our family. This is the hardest trial we have faced together and I pray that we will come out the other side all the stronger. I also hold the the hope that our greatest blessing will be waiting for us on the other side. Today a friend posted a link to a blog post written by a women who recently adopted a beautiful little girl her story is touching and filled with hope that our family will someday too be a family of 4. I want to share this story with all of you out there suffering from Secondary Infertility and who are also hoping to adopt. I am also going to share a few pictures from our family photo shoot. Well here's to a New Year filled with promise and the hope of something more. As of November last year we are officially on list for adoption in Saskatchewan!
