No words…
I can hardly type this.

Thank you for posting those pictures.
My God, what amazing blessings from God.

I have no words.
You and your wife are amazing people.

Wow.
We are extremely blessed! We went through IVF and spent almost 20k dollars and got pregnant twice and lost a set of twins on our 1st attempt at week 6. Went back in 3 months later got pregnant again and lost the last egg at week 6.

We are saving to try IVF again but it will probably be a few years before we're ready. We're hoping to get a girl out of it.

Miracles do happen brotha...my daughter is living proof.

We had troubles also because of some things going on with my wife that I'd rather not discuss in detail too much. At any rate, we were a month and a half out from her having a full hysterectomy when we found out she was pregnant after we had tried for 8 years, having also lost one around the same time frame as you.

We had resigned to the fact that it just wasn't going to happen...it happened when we stopped trying so hard. I'm not saying you should stop trying, but rather, miracles happen. She's 1 and a half now and I wouldn't change anything about it for the world!

I’m so sorry.
People like you and your wife with so much love to give, deserve Gods blessings.

Forgive me if I bring God in to something you don’t feel is warranted. I understand.

I just can’t help myself, I believe the trials you and your wife have been through will be rewarded many times over.

Hang in there brother.
Y’all are amazing people.
Top 1% of this entire country.

Respect sir.

Thank you.

The amazing part about it is that we had known for about 10 months before then that the hysterectomy was going to happen, or need to happen I should say, but as events unfolded that had nothing to do with it, it was delayed. Hence why I say miracles do happen.

This miracle can't happen brother. I was born a carrier of cystic fibrosis and found out during the IVF process I was born without a vas deferens. For those that don't know that's the tube the tie when you get a vasectomy.

Your story was a great inspiration though. I am a believer that when we are financially able that when we do IVF again we will be blessed.

It's not a problem in the slightest. My family are very involved in church so anytime God I mentioned or involved I'm always about it.

Miracles come in many forms Kev.
Keep your head up, good things come to those who deserve it.

Went through the fostering system to get them. Wife and I wanted a baby and was laughed by the adoption center when we went in to adopt. Lady laughed and said the likelihood of getting a baby was slim to none. Told us our best chance was to foster in hopes to adopt.

Did all the classes in 2018 towards the beginning of the year and got a call on Christmas day to foster a set of twins that were in the nicu, two boys struggling with withdraws and 6 weeks early. Immediately said yes and we started the process. They came home 3 weeks after being born.

It was a long stressful process of getting them adopted because we'd have a court date and the parents wouldn't show up and the judge kept giving them opportunities. Then they'd show up because of being in jail from getting arrested and plead with the judge they wanted a case plan. Judge did thus off and on for 16 months even though they wouldn't show up for anything. Eventually we were given the if they don't show up for court the next time we will move forward with termination. On June 16th we finalized everything and the worries immediately went away.

Fostering is a very stressful process because even on termination day a family member could show up to court and they would take the child from you and place them with family. I'm thankful it didn't happen to us. I love those boys more than anything in the world and from the moment I heald them I thought of them as my own. View attachment 35383 View attachment 35383

Love this Kev!! I also do work in child welfare specifically with foster homes so I always admire my foster parents. You're doing Gods work and making the world a better place.

Congratulations!!!!

Same, same. My wife was very anxious to get preggers. She had me test my swimmies 6mo after we were married. We were both physically fine. After another 6 mo my wife had stopped talking about it and I was thinking about what kind of boat I was gonna buy but instead I ended up with a daughter.

So he's making decisions to ensure making a bowl game? If that's even remotely true, he should be fired on the spot.

Listen, I hesitate to tell you this, but after thinking about it, I believe you need to know.

Stopping talking about getting pregnant isn't a birth control method.

I don't doubt it, but wow. Play it safe to ensure a trip to the Outback Bowl, instead of going all in to actually try to win something. Says all I need to know.
