Like you, I've been trying to accept the inevitability of being childless. It is a struggle, and you're right, there's not a day that goes by when I don't think about children in some way, feeling the same thoughts you do: why do some parents treat their kids so horribly, why is it there are neglected children when we can't even have one. Realizing the futility of my dreams, I just am now asking God to please just give me peace by letting me be happy not having children. I'm still waiting for that peace.

Popping in from J*S this morning. I just read your post. And although I have 3 children, I can understandably sympathize with you being upset about not having children. The thing that struck me while reading your blog was that you've had opportunities to adopt that didn't go through ... That upset me. To know there are so many children who need good, loving homes in the US and abroad that live day-to-day without a family. I hope that you continue in determination to build a family if that is what you choose. And I hope that you find a child to warm your hearts & home. Don't give up and be strong in your pursuit. {Big Hug} Juls~ Hi Amy! Popping in from J*S this morning. I just read your post.

Duckienz here from LOM. I was looking through your images then ended up here. I just wanted to send you love. I believe that you will find peace and I understand how difficult things can be to live with. I don't have children. I don't know if it will be a 'yet' situation because I have never tried to have children. But I was sexually assaulted. I know what it is like to go through every single day with things going around in your head and never stopping. I know what it is like to see, hear, feel things that soooo many other people just don't get. I understand the anger and the grieving process of a life you thought you'd have but that God had other plans for you. I have finally started coming out the other side and I have faith that you will too. Lots of hugs!!! Alisha Heya Amy. Duckienz here from LOM. I was looking through your images then ended up here.
