“Few things in my life have had an impact as profound as the birth of my daughter. Hazel May came into this world quickly, after weeks of prodromal labor and 9 months of an uncomfortable pregnancy. She is our third child fonte dell’articolo…my third birth. I vividly remember the day I saw the faint line indicting a positive pregnancy test. It was an affirmation. Just a month before, I felt it. I knew there was another soul waiting to join our family. Cory (my husband) and I inquired about the international adoption process. I requested information on a special needs program through Ethiopia and submitted some information to an agency…and there I sat weeks later, staring at the faint pink line, analyzing the depth of its color, wishing it was a guarantee that in 9 months, this faint line would be a perfect, healthy baby. My stomach churned with worry.”
