I turned to this community when I started my non-profit. I have had so much support it has been truly amazing, and I am very grateful. I wish I had know of you all when I was going through the really tough times of IF, but better late than never. I may not be doing ART anymore, but I have many thoughts and feelings on infertility as well as adoption. It is extremely wonderful to have a group of people to turn to who will listen to my opinions and thoughts- on my bad days as well as the good.

It’s funny how life works out sometimes. I was in a funk a few months ago feeling lonely and unfulfilled in my life on a social level. I love my friends IRL, but they all seemed busy with their lives, houses, and work. I felt I needed to connect with someone who understood my life as an adoptive parent, someone who understood that I still grieve about not bearing children, someone who understood my quest to start this non profit. As it turns out I have found many, many women to add to my life’s journey. Some are close, some are far. But, what I needed so much to have has been captured. Thank you for existing and having stumbled across my little space in the sphere of blogs.
