Hello All,
So I never know when I will be compelled to write, or what I will be compelled to write about. Well, tonight is no different. As you know...there are times on this journey that we may have news...and times we may not....For now there is not a lot of news...but something we would like to share with you.
After our loss, we decided to name our baby. We chose the name "Adi", which means "precious" or "jewel" in Hebrew. For Andy and I, this was such a special and meaningful way to recognize our precious baby. We have shared this with our donor family and close friends and family, but thought it was time to share it with you. It has been such a blessing to our hearts.
We would also like to share how gracious God has been to us during the last couple of weeks, and that by His grace we are doing well....and have been shown love SO well. We are continuing to heal, grow and look forward to the future....which leads me to the next little bit of news....
We have taken our next step and requested to become embryo recipients again! At this time we are also open to other forms of adoption....and are in the process of just being open to all options God may have for us. We still feel that embryo adoption and the possibility of carrying our child is the direction we are being guided to for now...but are trying to have open hearts. Please continue to pray as we continue on this journey. We will have a follow up appointment on July 14th to discuss the miscarriage with our doctor, and this will be a BIG guiding point. We ask for prayer for guidance and wisdom for our team. We would also humbly ask for your prayers of a wonderful match for embryos. I will be honest, this is a very emotional request as I can not imagine a better match than the one we had. We were blessed beyond measure with a wonderful donor family and embryos...and this is such a huge gift in an open embryo adoption.
Thank you so much for traveling with us on this journey. We feel your prayers...and love. We are so thankful for the gifts we have been given. We will cherish them always, and continue to look forward to the future. We look forward in hope!
Living in Hope,
Kristyn and Andy
