I counted the elder Ben and Diane among some of my best friends. <br />I want to tell you that our family is also struggling with the issue of trying to have a child. Eric (our younger son & middle child) and his wife are wanting a child also, however, she has not been able to carry beyond the 4th month or so. We have lost 5 precious angels to miscarriage. One a boy we know for sure. <br />They are going through the process of adoption themselves. They are still going to try conceiving and carrying to term, but they are going to try and adopt too. <br />You and Diane will be wonderful parents to a child or children that you will be blessed with, however they come into your family, just as will Eric and Gaby. <br />Faith and prayers for your future.<br />Sincerely, Janet G Burch<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12642707888390437763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9047346872529008758.post-36095869417825198472012-11-22T11:11:56.511-05:002012-11-22T11:11:56.511-05:00My brother shared this blog with me, thank you for...My brother shared this blog with me, thank you for sharing your your trial.

I cried a little when I read this beautiful post. My brother and sister-in-law have faced similar circumstances. After 9 years of marriage, they were chosen as adoptive parents, only to have the birth father come in and stop the adoption 5 days before it was to become effective. Last year they tried IVF and only got 3 embryos. They implanted all 3, and 1 "took." The baby was born 4 months early and lived about 15 minutes. I will never forget as long as I live watching my brother walk down the aisle in the full chapel as the sole pallbearer for his son. Although this was an indescribably difficult time, our family felt the love of God SO strongly. I'm so grateful that Diane had a similar experience at Girls Camp. I think knowing so intimately how much God loves you (us) is the only thing that can possibly see us through. Thank you for sharing your experience and testimony!
