Infertility has blessed me with two miracles whose souls would not have been called on had my husband and I not experienced this journey.
I do not wish infertility on anyone; I do however wish everyone the many gifts that I have been given as a result of my experience. The strength, compassion and sense of purpose that I have realized throughout my very trying journey have been irreplaceable to me. No, I never would have welcomed this painful journey into our lives, but I can wholeheartedly recognize that it has positively shaped the person I am today and is responsible for the many blessings that have shown up in my life and for this and so much more, I am beyond thankful.
