I wish I’d read your eloquent piece decades ago when I was on the infertility rollercoaster. I made some knee jerk responses without giving myself time to grieve. I took the adoption route without really being prepared. As a result it was a difficult struggle but one I don’t regret especially now when I have a loving son and precious grandson. Yet even now when I see a newborn like on CALL THE MIDWIFE I feel a pang that I missed that experience.
