Well here goes nothing. Its been a while since I wrote in a diary but I guess there's always a first time for everything.I've been reading other blogs and some of them are quite depressing. As for my blog I hope I won't wallow in sorrow and helplessness. Just a day ago I read about a pitiful lady who went through unsuccessful IVF treatments. She's practically ranting and a psychological mess. I can emphatise with her as I am experiencing this infertility problem. I've been under the knife twice and have seeked traditional medicine as well as modern medicine but to no avail. Of course I'm upset and sad but I feel that there's a reason for everything. For my case apparently I would be blessed with a child not of my own but from my sister in law. She was pregnant with "my child" and with God's will she approached me to take care of the child. I'm happy to say that he is an intelligent, lovable and caring five year old now. In a way I feel God wanted me to take care of this child... I do feel a pang of jealousy once a while when I see pregnant ladies with their big stomachs but the feeling goes away when I see my son. Adoption too can be another way of saving other children and giving them the love and care that these 'unwanted'children need more than anything.
