July 1 - my last post

I just want to thank everyone so very very much for all of their kindness and support during the past year while we've paper chased, traveled to Russia, submitted our papers and waited endlessly for our child/children. Today is the day that we come to the end of our journey. We're actually suspending it, but who knows what the future will bring - both for us and with international adoption.

We do have a very good, and exciting reason to be postponing our adoption. As of today, I am nearly 19 weeks pregnant with a healthy baby girl. I never expected to be THAT statistic. We are thrilled beyond belief, but we are also now trying to readjust the mental image of what our family will look like.

I know that one day we will absolutely pursue adoption. We have always felt called to do so, and our fertility struggles made us all the more determined to expand our family through the miracle of adoption. Still... I'm not sure when or in what manner. So, with that, I will be closing the blog, because it is an adoption blog, not a pregnancy after infertility blog. I wish each and every one of you a short, safe, and fast journey to your children. Thank you so much for everything. If you're ever interested in finding me, you can come join the board where I post - mommy-zone.com. You'll know who I am by my screen name ;)
Much love,
melissa
