Thank you for sharing this powerful testimony. Each of us are fighting a battle and I'm so very happy for you, seeing now the greater plans He had for you. ❤❤❤

We suffered with years of infertility at the beginning of our marriage, and also a couple misscarriages more recently (after four heathy children). Now we are expecting our fifth, and I had a similar realization that the ones we do have wouldn't have been possible without the losses and that in heaven someday I will hold all those babies that wouldn't have been possible in this life. God bless you for opening your heart to the children that needed you and Gods plan for your family.

Thank you, Emily! I have been praying for over 2 decades for marriage & motherhood. I am still waiting…I still trust God. The pain is bittersweet. I know His plan is better than mine. It has been hard but I know all circumstances work for His glory. We will have joy in Heaven 🙏

I deeply thank you for this testimony. Your faith that you have preserved and let grow despite the hardships touches me deeply. May God comfort you in his amazing ways!

Jesus told St Teresa of Avila in The Life (I'm reciting from memory but I love that book and read it a few times already so it will be darn close to word for word): "I remember when you saw it as an honor to go against My will, and even then I answered your prayers in ways better than you could even imagine, why would I not answer your prayers now?" Your point about God answering your deepest prayers in ways better than you knew to pray for reminded me of that :)

Yes! My journey was similar and the moment I held my daughter in my arms, all desires to be a mother were fulfilled. I no longer desired to have a child, or be a mother, in any other way than through the route God chose for me through adoption.

Seems that people who are really trying to live a godly life and serve him might need to just accept that the answer to your prayers will be deferred, simply because God knows you'll be faithful in the wait. Perhaps in some cases, it's the people who are ignoring God who need the wakeup call of kids. Not every case, but sometimes. I know a woman who also wanted a huge family and then went on to have pregnancy and other health problems that made it life-threatening to give birth (twice) and frankly too exhausting to take care of her kids as the super-involved stay-at-home homeschooling mom she wanted to be. She spent a lot of her children's childhood raising them from the couch. She was only able to give birth three times and they adopted a fourth, but looking back at her story about 25 years into her marriage, I privately think that her journey with her children has not been about her proving to her mother that she's SuperCatholicMomWoman but about God teaching her meekness and humility. So many stories she has shared seem to have the same theme of having to give up her way, her vision, and accept God's other plan. Everyone's story is complex, but it seems that the more we are open to God and living his will, the more he allows us to be conformed to him in ways we cannot expect. One thing I've learned over my decades is that God wastes nothing. The trial or pain or the humbling you're dealing with now *will* be used by God to fulfil his purposes AND your desires eventually.

Just no. It's not happy to be thinking all my life that my stillborn and my just 2-days-alive sisters had to die so my parents had a 2nd alive child, finally (me). Not only I've had to deal with it, but when I got married, discovered my own infertility? That's wild. I refuse to be a machine of miscarriages! Yes I wanted to have babies but the thought of loosing them was crushing. Didn't want to be a mother courage either. I stopped trying at thirthy something, and been actually avoiding (not artificial ways) until total menopause. Meanwhile, no sacraments because clearly I'm a bad woman.

What? A machine of miscarriages? Mother courage? Bad woman? Are you a bot or what

i’m sorry and i really appreciate your transparency but i find it very hard to relate to the infertility story of someone that got married at 41 and tried for all of 2 years. and also the magical baby to adopt who showed up with no money and no home study and then mortgaging the house etc etc just to adopt more. i guess that is just testimony to God’s awesome power in other people’s lives. but that’s not my story i guess 🙁
