How do you deal with...

    I am in the same boat as you....and it seems like all my friends are pregnant right now as well (or have recently popped). It is a hard struggle emotionally to deal with jealousy and sadness when you are trying so hard to have a child. Just remember that people can say insensitive things when they are unaware of the situation you are in...you have to take it with a grain of salt, and come to a place where you can accept the situation you are in for what it is....although you may never have a child that is biological your and and your partner...it doesn't make that child any less a part of you. My husband and I are trying to be a positive a possible and even though we still have moments of sadness that we can't have a child of our own together we are looking forward to the day we get pregnant, because at the end of the day this will be my husband's child no matter the DNA

    "Anyone can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a Dad." Both of my husband's significantly younger brothers are parents. Well, one has a 15-month-old and the other one's son is due next month. I've been really jealous thinking that their wives will know that their children are biologically related to their husbands and my child will not be. However, they are very young and recently married and the love that made their children has not really been tried and may not last. My husband and I have been married seven years and we have been through so many trying times together, including a separation and near-divorce. The love that has been required to make our child has so much meaning to us! It has brought us to the brink and back again and made us examine every aspect of ourselves. In my mind, our child will be a product of so much more love than one made from sex!
