A great day

I just wanted to share my day from monday. I listen to the fish while going into work in the morning and I can never get through the phone lines to weigh in on a topic. Well y were talking about this women emailing in about her feeling like a second rate citizen on mothers day because she had no children and "do women have to have children to have a complete life". The DJ Taylor was talking about her sister had adopted two children and that mother's day was the hardest day for her until the adoption of her first child. Well I thought I would try toget through and wouldnt you know I GOT THROUGH on the FIRST ring...really...I spoke to Taylor and Kevin in regards to how hard mother's day was hard and that churches sometimes don't recognize that and we celebrate mothers and forget those that are hurting to be a mother. I told them that I had asked for our small group two weeks ago to lift up the women wanting to be moms because I have been there and mother's day is EVERYWHERE on TV and in stores. It is a hard time. We talked a little about our adoption and how after our self pity party we embraced the infertility as a way of God having a different plan for us to have children. He wanted us to adopt and you all can see what a true gift from God Rylie is to us.
Well then I went to work and had a patient that was depressed and crying in the office and wanted some help. I asked what is going on in her life to try to figure somethings out and she said that her and her husband have been trying over a year to get pregnant and that they have not even went to a doctor but felt led to adopt. She said however no one had ever adopted in her family and they were scared to share the news.....I was just smiling I couldnt help myself..I had been there done that and got the t-shirt. I sat with her for a long time talking about things and got incrediably behind, but God put her in my path for a reason that day. I have always said since the adoption that I feel that God is leading me in that path somehow to help others even if it is just at work in the health field arena. Then no lie about an hour later a patient came in who just adopted in 4 weeks a baby girl by private adoption. She found out about baby started the process and 2 weeks later the baby was born and handed over to her and her husband...I asked her were you trying to adopt...get this..she said that she had a IVF baby 10 years ago and was trying to decide what to do and their prayers have been "God lead us in the way you want us to go in regards to another baby" and BAMMMM...her sister called her in regards to her knowing someone was pregant and going to put the baby over to the state...and there you have it the end to a BEAUTIFUL story...it was AMAZING day....God just showed himself to me and other all day that day....
and on a sader not though however...I would ask everyone to pray for a patient that I had last week that came in to confirm pregnancy and she said "I need to find our how far along I am so I can ge rid of this inconvience" CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT!!! I held my head high and talked to her for awhile about other options. I told her coming from a adoptive mother...the heart of a birthmother is the most amazing thing and ours had made our lives so much richer...That it is a hard decision but I feel it would be easier to know that my baby went to a loving family WHO wanted a baby than in the garbage can eh...it is a no brainer to me..I hate to be so callous....I was not with her because she was hurting... however that girl came in with only one solution to her problem and I gave her another...lets pray that this girl doesn't make a decision for this child that she will regret forever...
