July 28th, 2003 to be exact. My husband D and I were married. We had talked before marriage about babies and both agreed we wanted them right away. Fast forward 2 years and myself being diagnosed with pcos. We tried months and months of clomid, only for it to not work. After getting the news we needed "big guns" to make it happen. We made an appointment with a reproductive endocrinologists. We met with him and were pregnant that month. We lost our precious baby girl, and were so devastated. This was August, 2006. We tried again and were pregnant again with a miracle baby boy, we were so thrilled we even had a name "Griffin" We lost Griffin after a routine ultrasound showed his tiny heart was no longer beating. I had surgery and his tiny body was ripped from my body. I was beyond devastated. We waited, but wanted to try "one more time" this time I became pregnant with triplets. only to loose them too. We found out we were pregnant with triplets on what would have been Griffin's due date, July 15h 2007.
After loosing the last pregnancy I became a different person, I was so depressed and felt like the breath I was taking would be my last--I almost hoped it was.
In september 2008 I had something heavy on my heart to become a foster parent, after much talk we decided it would help us save for an adoption and we started the classes and became foster parents. We had a home study and were licensed in March, 2009. We had several placements including a 6 week old baby with a skull fracture and brain bleed, and then a teenager whom we were going to adopt until he ran away. We were approached by a case worker from DCS in June of 2009 about a baby boy who was adoptable, and asked if we would be interested. YES!! We met Isaiah September 3, 2009 and he came home October 1, 2009. We adopted him April 1st, 2010 and we feel like we are the most blessed people in the world. Without my son, I feel I would be on a road of despair. I don't have words.
Isaiah John Carter, mommy loves you, you have saved me.
At this point
