It has already been more than one month since we were chosen by our Little One’s birth mother to parent him. It seems like we were waiting so long but now the time is just flying by. We have been hard at work getting his room ready. Jason finished the window cornice I asked him […]
Back in February of this year, I wrote a post about what not to say to someone who is suffering with infertility called, I’m Going to Suggest you Bottle that up! This post is written in that same vein, but as advice of things to not say to your friends who are suffering with infertility […]
