Why isnt this the story we hear? I am so proud of you for speaking out and sharing this painful part of your history for the good of the world. And I am so sorry for your heartbreak. As much as it hurts, you truly are a mother- both to your stepchildren and to your child that waits to greet and hug you in heaven, with no ill will and with so much love.<br /><br />There are methods within the Church's teachings to help you conceive a biological child. Sometimes they arent the "get pregnant quick" that some fertility clinics claim, but my husband and I have been blessed to conceive through Church-approved (if not out of the bedroom) ways. I'd be happy to talk with you sometime if you'd like.<br /><br />God bless you.Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17681333723382119281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4571521288989752875.post-57519384870985655422010-10-18T14:46:51.405-07:002010-10-18T14:46:51.405-07:00What a powerful, and painful, post.

But God can do some amazing things through these relationships, and I am sure you are having a profound impact on her as a parent.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04966555296621723142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4571521288989752875.post-9455369064079426862010-10-18T12:57:30.137-07:002010-10-18T12:57:30.137-07:00This is so beautiful.
