Becoming a Mother
As a child, I always dreamed of being a mother. I was the little girl who played house every chance I got. Every baby doll and teddy bear I owned became my baby. Once I got married, my husband and I decided to wait about five years before we started to have children. We didn’t expect the journey of infertility we had ahead of us. After a full year of trying naturally, we found out that my husband had a medical condition that prevented him from reproducing. My childhood dreams of becoming a mother seemed impossible, but with God, ALL things are possible! After praying for wisdom, God led us to an adoption agency called Covenant Care. After four long years of waiting, God blessed us with our son, John. He is our miracle baby. We never knew how much our hearts could immediately love another human. Our feeling of loss was quickly replaced with joy! Three and a half years later, we were blessed again with another son through adoption, Daniel. Both of our boys prove that the impossible is possible! God made me a mother in an unexpected way. His plan is higher than mine. We’re so excited to see how God is going to use our sons’ story for His glory!
