I think this is beautiful...
I saw this on another board and wanted to share this with you....I am not very religious but I thought this was beautiful...Although it always makes me cry, it really puts things into perspective....
What do I think God meant when he gave me infertility?
I think he meant for my husband and I to grow closer, become stronger, love deeper. I think God meant for us to find the fortitude within ourselves to get up every time infertility knocks us down. I think God meant for our medical community to discover medicines, invent medical equipment, and create procedures and protocols. I think God meant for us to find a cure for infertility.
No, God never meant for me not to have children. That's not my destiny; that's just a fork in the road I'm on. I've been placed on the road less traveled, and, like it or not, I'm a better person for it. Clearly, God meant for me to develop more compassion, deeper courage, and greater inner strength on this journey to resolution, and I haven't let Him down.
Frankly, if the truth be known, I think God has singled me out for a special treatment. I think God meant for me to build a thirst for a child so strong and so deep that when that baby is finally placed in my arms, it will be the longest, coolest, most refreshing drink I've ever known.
While I would never choose infertility, I can not deny that a fertile woman could never know the joy that awaits me. Yes, one way or another, I will have a baby of my own. And the next time someone wants to offer me unsolicited advice I'll say, "Don't tell me what God meant when he handed me infertility. I already know.

Re: I think this is beautiful...
Thank you for posting this. DH and I were talking about this yesterday and how if you lined my 2 SILs and I up and asked which one you thought would/should be a mom first how all hands would point to me. My one SIL is a total career person who used to tell my brother she'd give him as many kids as he wanted as long as HE was the one to stay home and take care of them, because she was all about her career (who BTW is a great mom). My other SIL now she has a beautiful son, even though she -- well, let's just say she hasn't had the best track record w/ pregnancies--- she was pregnant 3 times before our nephew and voluntariliy terminated them... while DH and I are still trying...  I just haven't been able to grasp my mind around this- and only yesterday did I figure it out- I said to DH, you and I are the ones going through this b/c God felt that we're the ones that could handle it and grow from it... and ITA w/ what you posted.
