A Little Humor is Good for the Soul!

We are all finding new ways to bring a little lightness and joy into our journey as the pandemic slogs on. Humor is a great way to squeeze in a little giggle and put a spring in your step. Here are some other joy-inducing ideas: Find magic in small, everyday things like ice cream, smiles, sunsets, and that little green sprout at the beginning of Spring. Hug someone you love and release some mood-boosting hormones! Feel your feelings! Feelings are under your control - choose joy! Go outside...even if it's just for a quick walk. Fresh air and exercise can lift your mood. Do what you love...perhaps it's reading a book, treating yourself to dinner cooked by someone else, taking a scenic drive, conversation with a friend, dancing in the kitchen or singing at the top of your lungs in the car! Seize the moment and discover a new activity: volunteerism, a new hobby, a change in your exercise regimen, new recipes using your family as guinea pigs, get out your kids' Nintendo or PlayStation and JustDance! Serving you each day brings us joy.

The day we were diagnosed with infertility (and given very few fertility options) was such a dark day for us. In an instant, our dreams of becoming parents to genetic children vanished, and we felt so overwhelmed with that loss. While we were heartbroken and frustrated that we were given so few options, we see now how God was preparing our hearts for the family He had always intended for us. How did three children get into this picture?

Your embryo adopted child may be waiting for you.

March is Endometriosis Awareness Month. Did you know that 5-10% of women have a form of endometriosis? This condition causes endometrial tissue, which normally is only supposed to grow on the inside lining of the uterus, to be displaced outside of the uterus. This tissue can also be found on the ovaries, and sometimes other areas of the abdominal cavity. The tissues continue to act as it normally would — it thickens, breaks down, and bleeds with each menstrual cycle. Embryo Adoption: Building a family when you have endometriosis
