Show her love...

If we have an infertility blog, or follow them consistently...then we know what loss feels like in some fashion or another. I've posted years worth of struggles, loss and challenges. Through it all, I've had so much love and kindness sent my way.

I know I'm behind on updating about my trip to Texas. That's coming. I promise. Just know for now, that all is wonderful. So much has happened these past few weeks, and I will be sharing all of it very soon.

But right now, what's most important, is standing by our friends in this community. One of my most special friends not only in the blog world, but in MY world, is Amanda. I can't remember a time that she hasn't cheered me on, virtually wiped my tears and shown unwavering amounts of love.

She is always there for so many of us, at every turn, heartache and joy. No matter how difficult it is for her, she radiates happiness for US. She's a special kind of rarity and I'm so so blessed to have found her and get to know her. I'd walk this walk 1000 times over if it meant getting to know her all over again.

If you don't know, she's been waiting to bring her baby home through adoption since last fall. While several have come close, it hasn't been quite close enough. This last week Amanda and her husband, Sam were one of TWO to potentially get chose by a birth mom. So much hope rests on these situations. And it's the same as any loss that we've felt along the way when it doesn't turn out how we'd hoped. They were not chosen.

She's one of the strongest and bravest women I've ever "met". I want her baby to come home to her and I pray for that every single night. She will be the most amazing mother and deserves to hold her baby in her arms. I wish I was as eloquent a write as she...but I will always fall short of beautiful way with words. So please, pop over to her blog and give her even a tiny piece of the love and support she has shown me and so many of us.

Hang in there my dear friend. I know in my heart your baby is waiting for you just as you wait for him or her.

  5. Such a sweet post! Continuing to cheer her on! I hate the heartbreak. Hate it. Just trusting that the Lord already has the exact baby planned for her. So hard while waiting, of course. So glad we all have each other on the good days and bad!

  6. Amanda, I don't know you, but I am so sorry you weren't chosen. I looked at your blog and I see you are a believer, this won't make you feel better today, but the min your baby is placed in your arms, you'll know it's meant to be. I'm so sorry for heartbreaking this is and how bad you feel right now. This isn't fair. Love and hugs!

  10. Amanda has been the very one who always helps talk me through each and every situation I've been in. Whether it's support or the enormous amount of knowledge she has to share she always does no matter her situation. I would love nothing more than for her to have a baby in her arms so very soon.
