We Still Don't Have a Miracle Baby: When Someday Feels Like a Four-Letter Word (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781726778626)

Any woman who has struggled to conceive can tell you that every month that passes with another failed pregnancy test is a month spent grieving. And throughout it all, the worst part is often well-meaning friends and family members who offer unsolicited "advice" or ask insensitive questions.This book is my story, but it's written for not only those who have gone through infertility but those who know couples struggling to conceive and don't know what to say (or what not to say). It's a glimpse into the depths of grief that childless couples often don't talk about, in the hopes that someone will read this book and understand why "Why don't you have kids yet" is not an appropriate question to ask. Ever.It's also a story of hope, even though it's unfinished. I wanted to write this book before my story "ended" with a "miracle baby" or adoption, because I wanted to write it while the pain and the grief and the agony was still fresh. And I wanted to write it when the miracles in my life have been not children but smaller steps closer to God, my husband, and my family. This may not be a story wrapped up in a bow, but that's the point. Not every woman gets a miracle. And we need to figure out how to let that be okay, how to allow women struggling to conceive to live in the here and now and not get caught forever in a perpetual "someday" they may never get.
