Julie, Big hugs
and many congratulations to you
! I can understand how difficult it is to come to the forum and seeing such success when deep inside you are still asking "why me?" I've been there. And I try to be sensitive with my posts and comments knowing that while I have had success now I still remember the pain. It's an answer to prayer that you got to talk to your aunt and that such things have now begun to unfold in your lives. To me it wasn't about biology, it was about being a mother. And girlfriend, your time is coming. I have a dear friend/mentor of mine from when I was younger and in church. She and her husband were older and also couldn't have children due to something that now is treatable....anyway, they adopted through the same means. Their daughter was left and abandoned after birth. She's now 15 years old and wouldn't have her life any other way. She knows that biologically she belongs to someone else but her parents will always be the ones who raised her from birth. It goes back to the saying that it takes more then sperm to make someone a father! So here I am praying for your miracle baby to come soon, knowing that you will love him/her and cherish them for a lifetime!
