I think most of us can relate to that sentiment. I have a sister-in-law with 7 children in her home (5 that she gave birth to), and we are the only ones on both sides of the family, married or unmarried, who have none. To everyone else, I seem like I can handle it all just fine. Just last week, I got a baby shower invitation from my husband's other sister, who we didn't even know was pregnant, and found out someone else that I see every week is expecting. I took it on the chin and a few days later when I was alone, I sobbed it all out. I seem to go through stages. I have a wonderful husband, so I go through times when I convince myself that my life is full and rich enough as it is. But then there are times when I think that such thinking is just my way of coping with being 34 and childless. In the past, we have had 2 married and one unmarried woman tell us that they would like to be a surrogate mother for our child and we have had 4 people ask us to adopt their or someone's child that they know. Every suggestion sounds wonderful to a woman who longs for children. But my husband was an adoption story turned bad. I can't stand the thought of children dying in dumpsters and stuff like that. So, I've recently started praying that if God wanted us to adopt, he'd lay it on someone's heart to mistake our doorstep for a dumpster. (How could my dh deny God's will in that?) It hasn't happened yet, but I'm not dead yet and it would be a very small thing for Him.
