The true story of two people determined to
start a family, from the emotional struggle with infertility to the volatile
international adoption process.
Statistics show that over two million couples
will experience some type of infertility issue when they try to become
pregnant. However, when you are one of those two million, you feel
completely alone and believe that no one can truly understand what you are
going through.
This honest and revealing book documents one couple's long and arduous
journey to become parents from the eyes of the author. The longer this
process took, the more emotional and difficult things became, and the more
the author relied on this journal to sort out all the emotions she was
having. She never expected that this journal would last for years, hundreds
of hormone shots and pills, blood draws, surgical procedures, terrorist
attacks, adoption lawyers and agencies, international flights and the most
emotional and financial roller coaster that she had ever been on. But she
and her husband were desperate to become parents, to have their own child to
love, to hug, to experience life with.
By sharing their experience, this book offers insight into the emotional,
physical and sociological effects infertility and adoption have on a
couple's relationship, their families, friends and themselves as
individuals. It also provides in-depth detail of popular infertility
treatments, domestic and international adoption processes. |
