(some sort of cruel joke or what?) and then we lost precious Andon at 34 weeks due to severe pre-eclampsia & HELLP syndrome back in feb. of this year. we are trying again to get pregnant, but also considering adoption. anyway, i just thought i'd introduce myself and tell you thank you for sharing your story!Chelsahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04318852969211554319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5171940351236888576.post-43273544818998350392009-03-24T11:09:00.000-04:002009-03-24T11:09:00.000-04:00Wow!

You truly inspire others facing a similar situation with hope and also God's blessings that come from self sacrifice. True Love requires doing what is best for the other person in all relationships - physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Thank you for shining your light so that others will have the courage to take the right path. May God's goodness and blessings continue to flow through you and to your loved ones all the days of your Life!
