Reaching out....& Teen Mom 2

It's 9. 5 weeks now and I have been surprised on how many people have been reaching out letting us know their stories of having a baby, and the challenges so many people face. Having a baby is not easy for a lot of people, Gay, straight, single, we all have our own stories of challenges.
Last week I had a messages from a two different women, who have been struggling for years on having a baby of their own, years of trying without success. One of these women was finally successful after 5 years, the other was a few years with several unsuccessful pregnancy's. Each story was heartbreaking, as well as inspiring, that people just keep on trying for something that means so much to them. These stories from people are everywhere we turn, maybe because we have been going through this ourselves we are more open to listening to these situations or maybe there are more people out there that just want to share their stories with people that understand.
Two weeks ago I was also contacted by a man in Seattle that wanted some information from us about the hospital we are using in Panama and some insight on what we had gone through and overall advice. We are happy to help people with these questions, and thrilled that this gentleman has actually set forth in starting a surrogacy procedure for himself now out of Panama.
It is more and more obvious to us that people need help in finding a way to have a baby, and its something that people shouldn't take for granted.
Daniel and I are addicted to watching Teen Mom 2 on TV Tuesday nights (should we be embarrassed?) its all too clear to us that so many people don't want, or shouldn't have kids but for them the process is easy. Sometimes people don't know how lucky they are, when so many people will do anything to have a family but for some reason can't. Strange how life works....

Just one last point, wanted to say thanks to a good friend Pam and Jeremy for the first baby gift last week....Thanks guys!
