It’s hard to put into words the grief and pain that have been part of our journey, as well as the hope and grace we have experienced through our seasons of sorrow. In this video we share about the dark times we encountered while battling infertility, where questioning God’s very goodness rose in our hearts. In this struggle-filled journey of repeatedly asking God “why,” we eventually realized we had been given a gift that was sustaining us through our deepest valleys. It’s hard for us to adequately express our thought and feelings on this topic, but we wanted to share with those on a similar journey that you are not alone, and that there is hope in the midst of pain. #infertility #loss #hope #grace #faith

We will celebrate 19 years of marriage next month, and have never conceived a child. Sadly, that door seemed to close more and more as we got older, and the last bit of hope for a pregnancy vanished last year when i was diagnosed with endometrial cancer and had to have a hysterectomy. Thankfully, we chose early in our marriage to become foster parents while waiting for pregnancy to happen, and we fostered 6 children, 3 of whom we were able to adopt as babies. The girls are now 17 and our son is 13. I won't say that i don't still grieve being able to give birth myself, but God had a plan for our family and i am so grateful to be my kids' mom. I will pray for a full home for you both, however God decides to fill it. You will be amazing parents!

@Lisa-ne5pd Месяц назад

I had a hysterectomy at the age of 32. Never got to have a baby. I decided that God's plan wasn't my plan. So I followed God's plan and i become at peace. So I become a foster mom. I did adopt a 3 year old little boy. Who became the love of my life. He is now 26 years old and my best friend. Praying for you. God Bless you both.

I walked through a similar journey. My husband and I struggled with infertility for 10 years. I got pregnant with our miracle baby only to miscarry a short time later. Then suddenly, out of nowhere, we were approached about a baby boy, soon to be born, who needed a family. That baby boy is 22-years-old and the absolute joy of my life. When he was born, even though I hadn't carried him, it was like we knew him and had been waiting for him all of our lives. I always think about our first baby who we won't get to see until we reach heaven...but God's plan was something I couldn't even have dreamed up for myself. We are blessed beyond measure.

Adoption is a wonderful plan to make a family. We adopted our first son then I got pregnant at 41. That’s what God’s plan was.

@betsybabf748 2 месяца назад

My very good friend had a similar situation. They struggled with infertility for 12 years, including having surgeries and many IVF attempts, which never worked. They then adopted a newborn baby girl. The very week they brought their new daughter home, my friend felt very sick. She is a nurse herself and was nervous to be sick around their brand new baby so she went to her doctor. She was shocked to learn she was pregnant, and now their daughters are just 8 months apart in age and best friends.

@arianeprice3176 2 месяца назад

it is deeply painful and this is most likely the wrong thing to say but it could be that God has another path for you so He IS actually putting you on a specific path. It could be to adopt a child who needs you. one of Hods children who would hugely benefit from your love specifically. pro life and pro supporting the lives of children whose birth parents couldn’t keep them. or to foster. the amount of souls you would change through this. the amount of paths. it’s so hard when God doesn’t seem to be listening to your specific prayers but all along He is actually nudging you toward a different plan that is His plan.

@jennifervos5830 Месяц назад

Many tears while I watched your video, we went through seven years of infertility. I stopped when we had to do gift or in vitro, I physically, mentally, emotionally and financially, could not keep going. We decided to adopt thinking we were going to wait 2 years - six weeks later we got a phone call that we were picked, seven weeks later, our son was born. Thinking we were going to wait two years so that we could save up for the adoption because we did not have the money we unexpectedly received a bonus from my husband‘s work that we didn’t know was coming and fully covered our adoption. When our son turned one I found out I was pregnant, in November our second son was born. When our first son turned three I found out I was pregnant again and delivered our daughter also in November. God has a plan, sometimes it’s not our plan but the outcome is bigger and better than you can imagine.

@cathysmith4505 17 дней назад

I've read a lot about foster care lately. How there are so many kids that need a home that the system is overloaded. I can't imagine any child spending time with you wouldn't be better for it. You both seem to have so much to offer a child would be lucky to be with you. You might also check on volunteering in a school. They definitely could use the help. I wish you both the best of luck in whatever you choose to pursue.

I, too, never had children and have been married thirty years - there were no children as I had to have a hysterectomy when I was 21 years old due to PCOS, Endometriosis, and MANY ovarian cysts that had to be removed. I remember that day so vividly when I woke up from surgery and learned that the only option was a hysterectomy!! Due to future health issues, the option to adopt or foster kids was not an option, either. I thank the Lord every single day for the man that the Lord brought the wonderful man that is now my husband of thirty years into my life. He was there for me when I learned that children were not possible and he married me anyway!! Nowadays, I’m a little lonely because I’m at the point in my life where I should be enjoying grand babies of my own, and, I have to admit, it’s so difficult, but I also know that somehow this is God’s plan for me. I feel so blessed that I have a man whom I will celebrate thirty years with on June 4 of this year, 2024. I just trust in Him that my heart will heal through this.

@SuwanneeStation 4 дня назад

I did not suffer from infertility. I married young and had my first son at 16. I would not change a thing. No regrets. I adopted my second son though he was older than my first born. I was 17 almost 18 at the time. By age 19 I was the momma to three sons. Life was busy and hectic. My sons were my world. At the age of 28 I had my fourth son. I was a momma of four sons and they were my life. That being said my life turned upside down with the suicide of my precious daddy. He was my knight in shining armor. Why????????? My heart had a large crevice. I took care of my family but the loss of my daddy greatly impacted my life. Such a void due to unanswered questions. In 1997 my oldest son passed away at the age of 23. Finding his lifeless body took away my breath. Another fracture in my heart. In 2002 after caring for my second son for two years after a car accident, he passed away in his sleep at the age of 26. I felt so trapped in my life and waiting for the next thing to happen. Laying your children to rest in their forever spot. Takes your breath away and you are so numb. In 2010 my husband of 38 years passed away tragically. I witnessed his last breath. Why????? Why me. In 2020 lost my baby boy to Lupus. He fought so hard because he did not want to leave me alone. ALONE............ So empty and my heart is broken, shattered and unfeeling. I tried immersing myself in church and trying to understand why????? I feel nothing. I will not love anyone else. I isolate and can go weeks with out seeing another human and or speak. Grief and sorrow is ever present. Why bless me with such amazing sons then have them ripped slowly one by one from my arms. I wish I had even a miniscule amount of your faith and belief.

@erinsheets5069 14 дней назад

My husband and I went through infertility. We were told we more than likely never have a child together. After 8 years of marriage, I found out I was pregnant. The previous year, my father in law had passed away at only 62. When our son was born, he looked like him. Our son was definitely, heaven sent 💙

@cynthiawhitaker4538 2 месяца назад

No one can truly understand the pain of infertility unless they have gone through it. I had cancer in high school and the chemo and radiation saved my life, but left me infertile. I was blessed later to adopt two children, and I taught school for 25 years and had amazing students. You are in my prayers, and your strength and faith during your journey is inspirational. Hold on, have faith, and keep moving forward. Know you are loved, and there is a divine plan for you both.

I remember all my friends at church getting pregnant and I was happy for them but I would have to go in the bathroom and cry. I had a dream that I adopted a baby boy. Without going into all the details, that is what happened. Tears were flowing as I listened to you both share. Praying God opens the door for adoption if that is his plan for you. Thank you for sharing.

Oh Michael... I'm sobbing and needed this testimony today. We waited 9 years to conceive our son, a total miracle considering our infertility issues. Many years later went on to adopt internationally 2 little girls. Our son died last November at the age of 27 from skin cancer. I can barely face God right now, my God, who decided to call back the child we prayed and waited for so long. Our son was a newlywed and truly loved by all. I find solace in our daughters, my husband and my daughter-in-law who is the bravest person I know. I am blessed I have my family and blessed beyond measure for the 27 years I had on Earth with my son. But I cannot find solace in God right now - please pray for my Faith.

@paullaking8909 2 месяца назад

I'll be praying for you as well, you have me in tears... I lost my 13 mo granddaughter I was helping my daughter raise, almost 11 years ago. We literally went from heaven to a walking, living nightmare in the span of seconds... so I would never wish that pain on anyone and my daughter, much like yourself is still struggling in her relationship with God and as I've tried to tell her, without God, we won't survive this. God is our last hope, without the hope of one day seeing that baby and my other family I couldn't even imagine lasting another day. The devil will use whatever hardship he can find in us to exploit and try to take you further away from God. Don't allow it, be mad, but talk to him about it until you get some peace back because you will get some peace again, nothing will ever be the same again but keep reminding yourself this is but a temporary time, a few minutes of the joy we will experience, our eternity is with our families and it's the end that really matters in the grand scheme of life... I will pray that God helps you find some peace, and if you would ever like to talk, you can message me anytime. Hugs and prayers from Oklahoma 🙏 ❤

@mackenziekanis3096 2 месяца назад

I'm so sorry for your loss! Praying for your family 💔 we lost our infant son 4.5 years ago and it was hard to face God. But I had to accept that God creates life and sustains life. Ultimately our children even our own lives do not belong to us they belong to the Lord and he sustain his children. He is our maker, our children's maker and he has the right to do with his clay as he sees fit. That's such a hard pill to accept. I will say although we are only 24 when Maverick passed as an infant the Lord never left us. He stood by us and sustained us. He is faithful and Good and unchanging. Even when our circumstances change for better or worse He is our savior ❤ He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. Please Jesus! Losing your child is such a hard road; one I would wish on my worst enemies🤍 my heart breaks for you but I pray you find comfort in Him. Remember God is a big God he can handle your emotions, cries, screams, anger and pain. He has emotions and likewise he created us to have them too! I found the book holding onto hope to be the most powerful book I read. I recommend it to all the bereaved moms I run across. It's personal and gives hope and proclaims Jesus Christ Ben in the midst of the author being called to bury two children ❤ praying for you and all your family! This life is hard we can give thanks that God knows what it's like to lose his son, he gave him up for us sinners so we too could be made right and adopted as sons and daughters of the King. Just as he rose from the dead we will too! What a savior we have and what an incredible hope we have. Yet we still grieve even Jesus wept. He collects our tears, he hears our cries and he hates sin even more than we do. Look to him. Read the psalms. Read Job. Remember your savior will never forsake you, your son, your family. He will carry you when you are too weak to walk. 🤍

Mixed between the losses were years of infertility as well. After 5 years God changed my hearts desires to adoption and we brought home our first born from the hospital through the beautiful gift of adoption. Fast forward 13 years later and I have 4 children here on earth now...2 through adoption and 2 biological. All God's gifts. Praying right now for you all!!!

My husband and I could not conceive. Doctors could find no medical or obvious reason except that it just wasn't God's plan. We adopted 2 beautiful siblings 11 years ago this past December. God bless you both. Just remember this that we were told by our adoption specialist, some people are going to parent, some are going to give birth and others will do both. We were meant to parent. That's not a bad thing, that's an amazing thing. It takes a special person to love a child you didn't birth and if anyone can it's you two.

I did not know the heart ache of not being able to get pregnant or of having a miscarriage, but I lost my oldest son to cancer, when he was a young adult. I have been a Christian for many years, but after watching your testimony of faith, through hard times, has given me an even deeper awareness of the Lord’s presence and comfort. Today, I asked the Lord to manifest himself in a tangible way and after praying a short request, God answered me in a very practical way through a total stranger. Thank you so much for sharing. Your witness will be a forever reminder of the Lord’s compassion and that we are not here alone. Many blessings upon you both.

When our dreams came to an abrupt end, I was at a crossroad (contemplating which way to go) when the Lord spoke to my heart and said "you either trust Me or you don't".

It was until I was 29 years old that we welcome our first baby girl. I remembered one day I surrendered everything to Him. I said to God I am going to not take any more pregnancy tests and told Him if your will for us is to just be doggie parents the amen!! 10 months later I found out I was pregnant. Six months ago I gave birth to our second baby girl that I was told had stopped growing and thankfully the doctors were wrong and she is so perfect no issues at all!! God can do it all and if His will is for u guys to be parents you will be one day!!. 😇😊🙏😇🙏

No one understands how lonely infertility is unless you have been through it. During my 1st IVF, a week before my scheduled transfer, I had just gotten to a monitoring appointment when I got a phone call saying my mom was being life flighted because she had a stroke. I remember crying in my car asking God, how he could do this to me, first the infertility and now my mom. The transfer happened a week later and was successful and my mom made a full recovery. But it was a very hard few weeks. At 42, I now have a 2 year old and a 10 month old, both ivf babies. I thank God every day for my boys. I went through the darkest times with infertility, but I think it made me so grateful to finally be a mom.

Even through all of this we never stopped trusting God. We both know what you are going through and how you are feeling. Please don’t feel like you are alone in this.

I know people who struggle with infertility and some have had children, some adopted, and some chose not to do anything else. Don't give up hope!! I am sure you have already heard of this, with all the doctor's and maybe it's not the issue, but just in case try resetting your hormones. Insulin resistant can cause infertility and there is a natural product called Maca root that can help with it. It's worth trying it. They have it on Amazon and it's not very expensive.

The psalms is proof that we can, and that he listens to everything and then he collects our tears in a bottle! I pray that God gives you the desires of your heart however, that looks!

Only God knows the answers to those questions and once I prayed Lord In order for me to ask of you for a baby I feel I need to give you something first, So I gave up smoking , right there cold turkey , and so I gave my Life back to the Lord.. Its amazing what happens when you surrender to the Lord, give him your all, and then He Answered our prayers and gave us the desires of our heart a beautiful baby boy,😊 sorry this is long..felt I needed to share😂

I went through ten years with infertility treatments. I had two pregnancies. Went through 12 IvF procedures. I lost two infant boys born too early. I went on to adopt a beautiful Chinese baby girl two and half months old. She is the light of my life. She has now graduated college and lives on her own now. Please consider adoption. I have held my own baby who died at 32 days old and also held my adopted daughter. There is no difference. God had meant for me to adopt my daughter. I was lucky to know how life feels growing inside me and then had to go through the greatest pain of losing two babies that I loved from the moment they we're conceived. There are many children out there in orphanages waiting for parents to love them. I wanted an infant and I could not go through losing another child as in US the birth mother can change their mind so I went to China where I got a healthy beautiful little girl.

(I’m Doug’s wife) I experienced both infertility and miscarriage and for years I didn’t know of anyone else who had experienced both. It felt so cruel to allow a miscarriage in addition to infertility. I questioned God & shed tons of tears! With medical assistance I did finally have twins who are now almost 19 years old. I pray that you are able to have a family either through adoption or naturally because it’s obvious seeing you with nieces and nephews that you will be outstanding parents!!❤🙏

I love these two and have been praying for years for them and will continue to do so 🙏🏻❤ I teared up happily at seeing the pure joy on Michaela's face being pregnant with sweet Eden. Love her name. You will meet again, from one Mama to another. I've been thru the loss like that and it's surreal.

@VictoriaS29 2 месяца назад

You both have always been in my heart and in my prayers 🙏💕 After 5 miscarriages the doctors told me not to bother trying. I remained walking in faith. After years and years I had my daughter and shortly after my son. I also questioned God. It was a very dark time for me. Fast forward I now understand why. Everything is done in his timing not ours. In the meantime we remain faithful and pray. It's so important so we don't lose ourselves. My mother couldn't conceive and she adopted my brother. Shortly after she was pregnant with my sister and shortly after that she had me. Never lose hope. Our God is a God of miracles❤

To Brandon & Michael, thank you for being so honest and vulnerable. There is never pressure to share with the public something so intimate and raw, but you encourage and provide support for other people who have or are facing the same. Your steadfast faith is commendable. On the hardest days, I pray that you are both given peace that wraps around you like the warmest and safest hug.

@angeldye4168 4 дня назад

Thank you so much for your openness and vulnerability. I pray God will comfort you two and answer your prayers. My husband and I are almost 12 years into our infertility journey. I completely understand those roller-coaster emotions. The grief of loving someone you've never met. It's a different and very difficult thing to process. But, we remain confident of this, we will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Big hugs to you! ❤

I met my husband when I was much older, in my thirties. He was still in his 20s. He changed my mind about kids. We tried and tried, and upon reaching out for medical help, discovered I had cancer. Biological children aren’t an option for us. I’m still fighting for my life. Adoption is an option, but it is OK to recognize the pain of not having your own. I wanted a baby that was half the love of my life, and me. I wanted to see his eyes, my nose, a sweet little mouth. I wept watching the very real pain you’ve endured. I am there with you. I’ve watched your family for years, I have a similar faith, as a Christian. I wanted to be a mom. I fear not having a family when I’m older. I’m so sorry, Michael and Brandon. While children are a blessing, how many we have is no indication of our faithfulness or our worthiness. It is ok to rejoice and mourn in the things that happen to us. My prayers for you are continued. I’m sorry this happened. I ask God for your healing, and offer up my own pain for you. ❤

I know this is a Catholic Saint, but my sister walked the same journey. Friends asked Our Lady of Knock to pray for her and her husband, and they actually delivered a daughter the following year on her feast day. They subsequently recommended this prayer to another couple who also subsequently had a baby. God clearly answers prayers in many different ways. Good luck to you both, and you remain in my family's prayers.

I want to encourage you. I had cancer and the radiation damaged my ovaries. I also have PCOS. After years of infertility, and all the pain, I just got to the place where i lost hope. I tried ovulation medicine, hormones....I was told it was under a 3% chance. The medication and hormones didn't work forme. At age 38, i found out i was 3 months pregnant. We had conceived naturally. I had no symptoms. I was told I was high risk. God gave us a beautiful daughter. My pregnancy was very easy....no complications. We have never stopped trying again, and i haven't been pregnant again. My daughter is a miracle. I truly believe God opens and closes the womb. I always wanted a large family. I dont understand why that dream didn't come true....but my daughter is a miracle. I know God can bring you a baby. Adoption is wonderful too. You will be a great mother. Sending love and hugs from someone who really understands. ❤

As a single woman who didnt start dating until 35 I find comfort in hearing you share this story. My Godfather just passed away. I always thought I would place my child in his arms. Now that both of my Godparents have passed I feel very empty. I went through the pandemic alone and watching your family's show made me feel less alone. Thank you so much for sharing your story. You are helping me right now. I didnt grow up in a saved family but its to truly be alone in this life. I love you both for sharing this. I served in church for years and housed homeless children in my home but now Im in a new state alone finishing up my graduate studies to ensure that I may never be homeless again. On Saturdays while I complete my assignments Im watching a Bates' family member spread happiness and joy in Christ. Thank you all .

Praying for you both. Thank you for sharing your journey. I always wanted to marry a godly man but the Lord never brought one my way and now I’m retired. But He has comforted me knowing His ways are so much higher than mine . He has allowed me to share the gospel in 40 countries which would have been difficult as a married woman. He has given me a number of spiritual children who have led others to Christ so now I even have spiritual grandchildren! I praise Him for His sweet contentment. I look forward to the day He takes me home to heaven but want to shine as a light for Him however many days I have left on earth. He cured me of cancer 7 months ago. I’m excited to go to Europe next month for 6 weeks and share the precious gospel with those I meet along the way. I pray God will bless you with many spiritual children also!❤

I also am infertile and wanted children very much. For years I wondered why because I had always wanted to be a mother. A few years ago I was watching "The Hiding Place" about Corrie ten Boom and her sister Betsy in the concentration camps. At one point in the camp a woman was questioning why would God allow this? Corrie's sister Betsy replied "If you know Him you don't have to know why." Even though they were not talking about infertility, It hit me that I will never know the why, and it is ok. I trust my Lord that he knows what He is doing even when I don't understand. Love to you both.

That baby is now 35.

Many years ago, I went thru infertility. I had 7 miscarriages and eventually was blessed with 4 children. I can still feel the heartbreak decades later. Now I am reliving it with my children, going thru their pregnancy journeys and difficulties. Just as I am praying for them, I will pray for the both of you. As you said, your journey is not over yet!!

@xyz2813 2 месяца назад

Thank you for sharing your journey along this difficult path. When I lost my daughter at 39 weeks pregnant, that was the first time I had really questioned God and wondered if He was even there. Then I heard the Holy Spirit, not audibly, but as close as it could be to audibly if that makes sense, say, "If you turn your back on God, where is your comfort going to come from?" It's been hard, but I've been learning to trust God and trust in His plan. My baby girl would be 7 this year. I hope she's playing up in heaven with yours and I can't wait to meet her someday.

I am a Christian, and have lived a Christian life, and have worked hard to be a biblical, Godly woman, serving HIM, and others, and caring for others as an RN. Years and years and years of prayers, and nothing. I feel like I am in this deep dark valley where He either can't or won't hear me, and I don't understand why. I imagine its similar to the deep darkness you felt. We are so similar Michael. Keeping you and Brandon in my prayers. 🙏✝️❤️

My husband and I had a 9 year journey with infertility. We also had more questions than answers. We were both raised in church, but had not connected with Jesus Christ in a personal way. At the 9 year point, I was crying in the middle of the night after another month of failure. I know now that the Holy Spirit put this thought into my mind: God is in control of whether you ever have any children. We had pursued adoption as well as infertility treatment and both roads had been closed to us. After that revelation from the Holy Spirit, I made a commitment to God, realizing that I had definitively been placing all of my hopes and dreams in a family instead of in Him. When this Prodigal daughter turned to her Father, He ran to me and I was pregnant within a few months. Our daughter turned 32 last month and our son will be 30 in 2 weeks. My husband, Michael was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2013 and went home to be with Jesus in June of 2022. I never imagined how comforting my faith would be and how desperately I would need it 30 years after that commitment I made but God knew and made sure I wouldn’t have to go through losing my husband alone. Thank you, Michaela and Brandon for telling your story. I’m glad you had the joy of those first few weeks of pregnancy and that some day you will meet your daughter in Heaven and spend all of eternity with her. I will be praying that God will bring all of the peace and comfort that you can handle into your life together.

Our son was born 1 year after our wedding. A second baby never came. We adopted our daughter 17 years after our son's birth. 2 years later we adopted our 2nd daughter. God will open and close doors to your child. Our girls are so precious. The youngest is graduating high school this year. When you hold your child in your arms, it makes perfect sense. I remember thinking "of course God you knew it all along". Good luck. When you become parents, I hope you treasure them and not share them online.

@renemartinez8025 2 месяца назад

i cant imagine the emotional roller coaster you both have been on. I have a close friend that experienced infertility for years. After exhausting traditional testing and procedures. They started looking outside the box.She looked into what is called computerized electro dermal testing.Basically it tells you what is not working properly in your system. I know that sounds simple compared to what you have been through,but i always feel that when it comes to the medical field ,sometimes it can only go so far,and you have to look outside of traditional medicine. Just wanted to share my friends experience. The best part is she did get pregnant,and carried the baby full term.They have gone on to have more children after being treated for what in her system was not working correctly.

@mrsrichter8586 2 месяца назад

A lesson I learned a long time ago whilst trying to understand how my brother and sister in law were feeling about their infertility problems is this . . . a childless couple mourns not having a child just the same as a parent who has lost a child. That really helped me understand how they are feeling and to understand their path better. I pray God will bring you all the children He wants you to have, no matter who's body He uses to bring them to you.

Hugs to you both. All my children are Adopted. I have 6 kids. I always tell people that Adoption is just a different kind of pregnancy and birth. There is no timeline which makes it emotionally challenging. Our family is a White, African American, Asian and Limb Difference Family. God knew from the beginning of time who our Family would be. Has it been easy? No way. Adoption brings loss and many challenges, but all families struggle. Keep clinging to Jesus. He is using you both mightily to Glorify Him and love and minister to do many people.

This is never a path without intense agony and struggle and yet you have come to submit to this position.

Oh my heart. I walked in the same way for years. Either no answers or wrong answers were giving. Our prognosis was unexplained infertility. We never gave up hope or our faith God would prevail. He said you will be a mother, he never told us how. In 2019 best friend from college gave us our miracle through surrogacy. I’m now a proud mom of a handsome four year old boy. God never gave up and neither did we. I maybe 51 but my faith and heart is restored. My prayers and heart are with y’all. You and husband got this. Our God is a mighty God.

It took me a while to watch this video because I know how much you both want a baby. I know you both will make amazing parents.

@kirapetersen987 2 месяца назад

I’m so sorry that you are going through this. My husband and I struggled with infertility for 6 years. Fertility testing was inconclusive and the fertility treatments we tried never worked for us. I found out through some blood tests that I have a gene mutation called MTHFR. Which basically means for me that I can’t absorb B vitamins and Folic acid unless I take a version that is already broken down. After taking methylated b vitamins and folate for 6 months I got pregnant with my son. For me, I need to take these vitamins in order to get pregnant and I need to keep taking them while I’m pregnant. I know this information may not be helpful for you. But I thought I would share with you just in case it’s something that could help. I’ll keep you both in my prayers. ❤

I wish we could all grab you and hug you. I had my daughter at the age of 22. No pregnancy took hold after that. 14 years later, I begin to feel quite ill, the job I worked at was unbelievably stressful as well as other personal things. One day I had enough, went to the doctor, we were military, and it was the Friday before a long weekend the post was shut down for the holiday. I get home from work and hear a message stop taking all medicine come see me Tuesday. You can imagine my thoughts all weekend. The doctor did a run down of my test results and said briefly congratulations you’re pregnant. My then husband and I almost passed out. After seeing a OB doctor I found out I was 4 months along. My son is now 24 years old, and has family of his own. Both of my children were my miracles, I was told I would never have kids. And God showed them!
