Blessings Unnumbered

I admit that sometimes I feel guilty for not blogging more. I guess I can fall back on the saying "tis better to live life than blog about living life" right?

My guilty pleasure though is keeping up with the google Reader. I have a bunch of blogs that I've kept tabs on. Some for years. Yup, I'm that lame. Many, okay probably the majority of them are tied into the adoption or infertility world. My kind of people. This week is National Infertility Awareness Week. So there's been lots and lots and lots of posts about infertility and how that ties into those who are trying to adopt and such.

One reoccuring theme of the week? Venting from those deep in the trenches about well intentioned comments that more or less say "I know such and such adopted and then they got pregnant" as a way of offering hope or something. I know that's by far the most common comment we have received, even before Kylie was born and MOST DEF the most common comment we hear now. So yes I realize that couples like us purpetuate such comments.

Sorry about that.

What's my stance on the matter?

I've met/known many people who have gotten pregnant after adopting. I have met/known many people who haven't. The Lords timing is EVERYTHING when building our families and is seen evident by my two sweet munchkins.

I have more to say about the matter but I think I better stop before I put my foot in my mouth.

I still look at my son and wonder how he got here. It seems so surreal that he's just here in the moment and absolutely perfect. I look at my daughter and wonder how she got here too. The events of her birth have faded somewhat and I see her blossoming into a little girl. She's with us, just as she always should have been. I take hope in God's timing and that all the children that are meant for us will make it to us in whatever way they need to come. And for those that are facing the realities of always being a family of two... I take faith in that we will have the eternities to build the families that we desire and dream of.
