Ok! So Chrissy gave me this book forever go. I pick it up and read it from time to time when I can. Well this week a read this certain story that stuck out to me. Actually it's a poem written by one of the adoption moms.
I wanted you all to read it. Man, did it touch my heart!
If you don't have this book you should get it. It has some really great stories in it.

The Poem:
I Could Not Conceive
They told me I could not conceive, and tests showed they were right;
They considered but the physical, forgetting our Father's might.True, my child, I did not conceive you within the limits of my womb;
But still you grew within my heart--a heart with boundless room.
They told me I could not conceive, and in one way they were right;
Now I know they are the barren ones, comprehension out of sight.
For they cannot conceive my son of how it feels to see the face of a child, not of my flesh, but of my destiny.
They cannot conceive, my child, of what it means to love,
Another woman, another man, who prayed to God above
And then decided to love enough to give to me their son.
To love and raise, and call my own, until my life is done.
They cannot conceive, dear one, of bonds beyond the ties
Of if you have your daddy's nose or if you have my eyes.
They cannot conceive , my child, of all the Lord still has in store
For this family he created, not of my flesh and bone, but more.
They told me I could not conceive, and in part their words were true...
For I cannot conceive, dear son, of never loving you.
