When I went to the doctor and the tests came back negative, she casually responded, "Oh you probably just miscarried. It happens all the time."<br /><br />My heart hurt with her flippant response ... thank you for showing it's okay to feel longing for the baby I have not yet met.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03509169727773615479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2750966252794891890.post-85911404838572845212010-09-10T20:48:35.876-07:002010-09-10T20:48:35.876-07:00i'm sorry.i'm sorry.jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07148220405743339501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2750966252794891890.post-50260242798189363492010-09-10T11:08:52.364-07:002010-09-10T11:08:52.364-07:00that was the most beautiful sunset and the most be...that was the most beautiful sunset and the most beautiful name in the sand! what an incredible and treasured photo!Laura@The Oily Cupboardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13649567413697929693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2750966252794891890.post-46053985465253297562010-09-10T07:12:05.484-07:002010-09-10T07:12:05.484-07:00My mother lost two babies at birth or shortly afte...My mother lost two babies at birth or shortly after, in the days before prenatal transfusions.

I too think you're amazing and awesome and wonderful and did I say amazing? For all you do as a parent, as a friend and now as an advocate for these poor little children being given the crappy end of the stick in life.

I am beginning to understand a glimpse only a glimpse of the pain and fear a mother can have for the lose of a child. I finally understand the bond between a mother and a child before they are even born. What an amazing feeling it is. Again, thank you for sharing this part of you.Rusty and Jacquiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01491395516271184525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2750966252794891890.post-36060552240121927742009-02-21T08:11:00.000-07:002009-02-21T08:11:00.000-07:00Dear Jen, I consider you my friend.

We know each other's hearts.<BR/><BR/>What a beautiful post. Thank you for sharing it with us. I know it isn't always an easy thing to do. I have told you before that I see you as an absolutely amazing woman! You have so much to share with others,of course foster children, but also those of us who have found you through this strange blogging world. <BR/><BR/>Yes, Carly is a wonder, isn't she. Just like you. You have both taken your pain and turned it into action, giving gifts to others. Thank you.Snarky Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17893940815826970998noreply@blogger.com
