Today Bill got to celebrate his 3rd Father's Day as a daddy to Isaac...and what an amazing father he is! It is amazing sometimes to just sit back and watch them play, and see the looks in both of their eyes. Isaac definitely adores his daddy, and I think he's kinda great too! ;) This year Mommy and Isaac went to a golf course and got Bill a gift card for him and a friend to go play. It's been a while since he's played, so it was due! :) Here are my two favorite men celebrating at Chili's for lunch today...Bill's choice!
Some of you know that we had to use in vitro fertilization in order to conceive our miracle of a son. We were blessed enough to conceive him on our first attempt! Since that summer four years ago, however, we have had three other attempts. One of them was unsuccessful from the start, and the other two ended with miscarriages early on. We were supposed to undergo our final round of in vitro two weeks ago with our one remaining embryo, however, when we showed up to this appointment, we found out that the embryo did not survive the thawing process, meaning we were done with in vitro.
Adoption has always been a topic of discussion in our relationship, even from the earliest stages. It was placed on the back burner when we were blessed with Isaac, however, with this latest failed attempt of in vitro, it has come to the forefront of our thoughts and discussions.
At this point, we have decided to begin the process of "officially" looking into it. We've filled out interest paperwork and will be attending an informational meeting next week. We are not sure if adoption is a certainty or not...but we are seriously considering it at this point. We just want what God wants for us...whether that's expanding our family, or pouring our love out on on our little man. Stay tuned for our exciting journey!
