My mom found this article that mentions one woman's journey with Dr. Schoolcraft. It is really well written so I wanted to share.
A few things she said in the article really hit a chord with me. When she said people are quick to say that you should adopt and how they are quick to forget that basic human need to reproduce miniature versions of themselves. I really relate to that - I am so sick of people saying that we should adopt because they know so and so, and when they went to adopt they got pregnant magically because the stress was gone. Maybe one day we'll get there, but at this point, I can't give up on wanting to see what our biological children would look like, act like, and be like. A few weeks ago my mom gave me some baby pictures she found of me when cleaning up the house. I often look at those pictures and get teary because when she gave them to me she said "that's what your baby will look like!" I pray I get to see that one day.
