Why are we here?...

So I met somebody who has had a loooong battle with infertility. They are dealing with the same issues that Jeremy and I have dealt with. Only this person has been dealing with it for 20 years now... You'll never guess who it is. My realtor!!! Can you believe it? We just happened upon Tina because the Century 21 people were "out to lunch" at 10:00 in the morning. It just so happened that she is a christian and a really cool person. I noticed that she didn't go gaga over Jakob like everyone else in the office, but that's o.k. little babies are not some peoples thing. I also saw pictures of kids all over her office, and assumed she had some. When we were driving around on Saturday she was asking me how long I plan on breastfeeding and I told her that I've learned through my IVF and then difficult delivery that I don't need to make plans, I kinda just go with the flow. She then opened up to us and told us that she's so glad to meet an IVF baby and that her and her hubby have been dealing with male factor IF for a long time. She said she was going to start IVF a while ago, then her mother got cancer and died and she got very discouraged and gave up. She says now she's too old (40) to do IVF. I told Tina my philosophy, which is if God hasn't taken away that desire for a child then I believe he will fulfill that desire. (whether it's through IVF or adoption) I could tell a *huge* change in her from the time she found out about us. She actually talked to Jakob and held him, I felt a pain in my heart for her, not only because of what she's been through, but also because I know that we brought some of those feelings back to her heart. This is why I talk about my IVF. Tina may have felt heartache when she saw a young couple with a cute little baby, remembered the tears and the emotions IF brings...never dreaming that we're in the same boat. Please remember Tina in your prayers, that God will move in her life and show her what choices she should make. I saw a whole different person an encouraged person when we left on Saturday. I am excited to see what happens next...
