Dear Birth mom,
I wonder how 2014 was for you...? I'm not going to lie...2014 was a kinda hard year around here. It came roaring in like a beast, and brought us crashing to our knees. My body decided to rebel against me. Half my face suddenly over night was paralyzed with a nasty case of Bell's Palsy. I lost my confidence because of that silly illness...it took half of my smile. I also discovered I had low thyroid and PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome), and that derailed us off our path of growing our family through embryo adoption. I had always been healthy...why all of a sudden was my body going crazy? So many times I wondered, asking God "WHY"?!?!
Looking back, and thinking where we were at this time last year, I can see what a blessing in disguise those trials I had have been. I'm realizing that those trials helped put us on this path to find our family. We started learning as much as we could about adoption. And we had time to start this here blog. We have absolutely loved writing to you, someday birth mom, and hope our words can be a help and comfort to you someday.
Good-bye 2014, bring it on 2015! I'm so glad for what I am becoming because of those trials. I'm glad I didn't let all of those perceived setbacks get me down, but instead I let them take me where I needed to be!
Love you! Happy New Year!
Jamie
