Our Story...

I have been putting this post off for so long! So I am just going to do it and throw it out into the world!
For most of the 2 people that read my blog know that Morgan and I have wanted children and have been trying to have children for almost four years now. Being so unsuccessful at something can make you feel like such a loser. I was on a fertility drug called Clomed for 2 and a half years! If you happen to know anyone who has taken this...please put your arms around them for me! It is terrible! Those 2 and a half years tested myself, my marriage, every relationship I have. I have to give the most credit to my husband! He was so extremely patient with me. Even though he had no idea what I was going thru he did his very best.
Well we were referred to a Endocrinologist for more fertility treatment, possibly in-vetro. I could never bring myself to make an appt. I was terrified! I was so afraid that with the amount of stress that I already put on myself that after paying 20,000 dollars to get pregnant that I would be so stressed and it would never work.
In the last four years I have put such a heavy burden on my shoulders. I have not wanted to turn this over to the Lord. I was not ready to know what he had in store for me. I wanted to do everything in my power. I wanted to be in control of this! People suggested that we try to adopt a baby. I would get very offended when someone would say that. I thought that is so easy for them to say.
Carrying all of this weight on me made me a very bitter, un-happy and sad person.
I have finally turned this over to the Lord! I am a new person! I have been given hope again! I am a true believer in timing and that we are on the Lords time and not our own. Last July I went to my OB for my yearly and left there knowing exactly what I needed to do! Morgan and I are new people. We walk lighter, our heads raised high, happy and excited! On November 20, 2008 we were approved by LDS Family Services as potential parents to adopt baby! The Lord has wrapped his arms around us and we have felt the spirit in our home more in these last couple of months then ever before.
We are so excited to have the opportunity to add to our family thru adoption.
We are now asking our friends and family to keep us in your thoughts and prayers. If you know anyone who is trying to make the difficult and very brave decision to place there baby with loving parents. Please give them our email or phone number! My email is: socutebkb@hotmail.com and our phone is 801-386-0707. You can also reference them to itsaboutlove.org. You can view hundreds of profiles of couples that are hoping to be placed with a beautiful baby!
Now we just wait and pray. There is not a waiting list, its not first come first serve. Profiles are given to parents and the birth mom gets to choose who her baby is placed with. So please keep us in your thoughts and prayers!
Lots of Love from The Thompsons!
