Thanks for being so honest with this process. BTW, I honestly cannot imagine someone being snarky about your not being able to breast feed. There may be people out there like that, but I just cannot fathom them.

I am looking forward to hearing more about your journey.

I think this was a beautiful post too. You amaze me with your transparency and honesty.
I cannot wait to hear your baby has found it's forever home :)

And my goodness - anyone who thinks badly of you for not attempting to breastfeed can go sit in the middle of a busy highway.
Ummm... k, not really. I'm not a mean person *I only think mean things.*

Crystal, this post was just beautiful! We've never met, but I can hear you through your words and you are going to be a fantastic mom!

Getting pregnant doesn't make you a parent. Parenting does. That's the important part!

Breastfeeding is great, if you can do it. I tried four different times and it just wasn't working. All of my kids ended up on formula and they are all smart, talented and healthy teenagers. It doesn't matter what other people think. You make the decisions that are right for your family and I can already tell you are doing that!!!

HUGS!

Beautifully written. A blessed attitude. A courageous endeavor to adopt. Having said that, miracles DO happen. I have two friends in my circle who have decided to adopt and got pregnant. One friend ended up having twins (three babies within a year of each other) and one ended up with two 6 months apart (and already had a two-year-old).

In a way it sucks, but in another way it's a relief.

It's like - just when you think you've got things under control - God sends you a little message to remind you that it is He, not you, who has things under control.

God is leading you on a bumpy path to be sure...but what an awesome reward you're going to get!

I don't think I ever said "I'll never..." about these things. I just had strong feelings about them. I still do, I just have no control over them.

It sucks!

I'm SO glad you've come to that place- isn't knowing you're on the right path a good feeling?
I know every time I make one of those "I'll never..." statements, God seems to make it so I end up doing exactly what I said I'd "never" do. I've learned to be careful about those kinds of things.
