  2. Baby Announcements 2009

    in New Arrivals

    Hugo and Lathan...like the names! How did you guys come up with them?

    After looking thru some baby books and meanings, Lathan was one of the names that stuck out, we had never heard it(but I'm sure there are millions named this., lol) and the meaning of Lathan is "gift from god". And this is exactly what Lathan is. And definitely it was in "god's timing" not ours.

    Blessings and prayers to all the PIW,

    Tracey

    I have always been fascinated to know how people got their names...Thanks for sharing!

  13. Cancer Survivors Welcome Here!

    in Looking to Adopt

    Posted

    Well, I've finished my last treatmen (December 23). :D:lol: I felt okay for Christmas, just a little tired. I am now today actually feeling I can get off the couch and do some cleaning. <_< I go for another CAT SCAN next week.

    So I went through a period of feeling sorry for myself which makes me really mad at myself. :angry: I got to thinking that it's been 4 years since we tried to start a family. We found out we couldn't so looked into adoption. Once we committed to adoption I was okay and started feeling happy again. We were so looking forward to soon having a little one to love. We had friends having problems also with getting pregnant so we had a couple of people to share our feelings with. Fast forward to now. We are still in limbo because of the cancer and all our friends have now had their babies. I'm am so happy for them but I feel like we've been left in the dust.

    I know I need to take care of myself first. I know God has a plan for us and it may not be the one we thought it would be. We have to be patient.... I know all the sayings because I say them to myself all the time.

    Congrats on finishing!! Another hurdle down! I am cheering for you!!!

    Like you, my husband and I have also had a bit of a rollercoaster ride. Although I was not diagnosed with cancer, my diagnosis caused the doctoris to tell my husband to start making plans because they didn't think that I "was going to make it". Since then, we too have had the joy (said in sarcasm) of going through the wonderful chemo treatments, then being told that we could not have a kid, then that it was okay to try, back to we shouldn't have kids, then to yes we can, but with the stipulation that, when we adopted, the child needs to be able to sleep through the night, and finally back to the go ahead to adopt an infant again.

    When someone is faced with medical issues as well as infertility issues, it seems as if there is more hurdles than there are smooth surfaces....but, coming from someone who has gone through the hurdles, there are definitely some things to be thankful about......

    Just remember that you have a great support system not only in Bryan, but also her on the forum. We are all pulling for you!!!
