Just know that there are a million different roads to parenthood and I'm confident that yours will end in total joy. I'm praying for you both.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15410002407855752531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704154388055930626.post-3295687003310498752008-07-07T10:17:00.000-07:002008-07-07T10:17:00.000-07:00HI Miss Mindy-I am reading, and I have since you s...HI Miss Mindy-<BR/>I am reading, and I have since you started with the Blog. I am so sad and sorry that I didn't know that this happened to you and Bill. Please know that I am thinking about you and hoping and praying that you will get what you most desire. You will both be amazing parents and I feel positive that it is in your future. I love you both.Short Roundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09703410329562194360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704154388055930626.post-38659119059794067712008-07-06T16:43:00.000-07:002008-07-06T16:43:00.000-07:00Thank you for your comments and for checking the b...Thank you for your comments and for checking the blog!

I don't know why I do. <BR/><BR/>I found it through the nav bar one day and liked the pictures of your dog, so I just kept checking for new pics. My wife works for Iams (the dog food company) and we are both animal lovers.<BR/><BR/>Anyways, I was caught off guard when I read this post and wanted to comment.<BR/><BR/>My wife and I have been married for 10 years and have been trying for a baby for the last 6. Tons of fertility treatments, surgery for me, and A.I. and still no results. We are both 32 (well, I will be in a month) and are at a crossroads right now as to whether to try IVF or just accept it and adopt.<BR/><BR/>Anyways, I was hoping I might offer you a bit of perspective on one comment you made... <BR/><BR/>God did not take your baby. It was a tragedy, for certain. But God does not answer our prayers and then snatch the answer away. He is not capricious or arbitrary. His love for us knows no end.<BR/><BR/>I would like to suggest a book for you, one that has helped me out more than any religious book (other than the bible) ever has. It is entitled "Is God to Blame?" by Gregory Boyd. It has helped me to come to realize that many of the tragic things we endure are not part of God's plan, but simply the tragic results of a broken creation. I don't know why you miscarried. But I am pretty certain that God was not the cause.<BR/><BR/>Here are a few blog entries of mine that might give a little different perspective on the issue... (seriously, I am not trying to self-promote... just hoping to offer help...)<BR/><BR/>http://www.heathcountryman.com/2008/02/is-there-reason.html<BR/><BR/>http://www.heathcountryman.com/2008/01/prayer-for-sissy.html<BR/><BR/>http://www.heathcountryman.com/2008/01/waiting-game.html<BR/><BR/>http://www.heathcountryman.com/2007/12/are-we-free.html<BR/><BR/>http://www.heathcountryman.com/2008/03/why-i-am-open-theist.htmlHeath Countrymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02443570122029029549noreply@blogger.com
