When we made our decision to move forward with the adoption process it was because we knew in hearts what felt right for us. This was the first step in beginning again. Knowing that we were the only two in the whole world that could make our lifetime decision to adopt was very intense and important.
We started to turn off all the noise in the background of our lives. Family and friends were so caring, although some had so many opinions on our fate of parenting and fertility, they were pretending to be our Genie in A Bottle or our Psychic Reader. Then there were our fertility doctors, even after going to three different clinics had three different medical opinions on our fate of parenting.
These noises and influences had affected our ability to focus on each other to decide how to become parents. Although, I am glad it took some time to turn off those background noises because during that time we came to an actualization of knowing what was good for us and our ability to become parents, and that right there was a lifetime of preparedness for parenting.
After reflecting on the past ten years of our lives together, we put the rest of the world aside and focused on our hearts and our knowing what felt right. The only answer that made sense for us to become parents was through the journey of adoption.
Just writing down how we came to understand which path to take in our lives brings and overwhelming sense of peace and calming to me. We put together the pieces of our puzzle to become parents and realized that we started that puzzle ten years ago.
