December 7th
I feel like I just got the wind knocked out of me.
Only two more weeks with our little angel.
Please, please pray.
A Day in the Life
Join us on our journey as I learn how to be a doctor and a wife, long to be a mother, and seek out God’s plan in it all.

OUR JOURNEY
- 01/07 - Decide to start trying. Assumed we would have a baby in October. Saw my OB/GYN who told me to call him in a few months when we were pregnant.
- 03/07 - Started charting using basal body temps and "tried harder". Had a period every month, 28th day, like clock-work.
- 01/08 - Realized something must be wrong and returned to my doc's office.
- 02/08 - Sperm analysis (SA) shows 0% morphology, everything else normal. Failed independent adoption days after finding out SA results.
- 03/08 - Repeat (SA) still with 0% morphology. Heath goes to a urologist who finds no abnormalities. Erin has bloodwork - all normal.
- 05/08 - First appt with Reproductive Endocrinologist. We were told we would only get pregnant through IVF. Tried for financing - weren't approved.
- 08/08 - Awaiting decision from birth mother about independent adoption #2.
- 09/08 - Failed adoption #2. Don't know where to turn next.
- 01/09 - Decide to foster, with the intention of adopting. Paperwork turned in and waiting for a home study
- 02/09 - Assigned a case worker, have a home study and told we will likely have a placement in May/June.
- 03/09 - Start DHS parenting classes. Home study begins. We're told we could have a placement this month!
- 04/09 - Sign our contract with DHS. Lots of waiting. Things not happening as quickly as we had hoped.
- 05/09 - hoping this will be the month...
- 05/08/09 - Take little J home with us. 5 days old and love at first sight!
- 07/17/09 - Sam joins our family at 7 months old. What a beautiful new addition! God is good!

Oh Erin. I will be praying. Sweet friend, I want to be able to pray over you and hug you. I am so sorry. May you cling to our Savior’s side in this unimaginable loss. I will pray for miracles in these next several weeks and more than anything that you rest in God’s indescribable peace knowing He will never leave your family or J. I love you sweet girl. Thank you for continuing to bring glory and honor to Him during this time. Everyone around you sees Christ shine through your life.

I am so sorry Erin.
My heart aches reading that, and I can’t imagine the pain you must be feeling. I pray that God brings you and Heath peace, and for his will to be done in little J’s life.

We love you Erin. Though God’s plans are greater than our own…I will be praying.

Erin, I am praying for you.
I’m so sorry-I pray that God will have His hand in this situation…that he will guide you and Heath, and that He will hold baby J in the palm of His hand and protect him. I pray that God will give you understanding and peace, and that baby J will be loved and cared for and protected wherever he may go.

Hi Erin,
I’m praying for you and Heath. I am so sad for you - having walked through what you are walking through, I know how hard it is. I pray you will experience the peace of God and know God’s comfort and love like never before.
Warmly,
Erin
