miracles.

Those of you who know me, may know that my older sister Kira has had infertility issues. Once they realized that the chances of Kira getting pregnant naturally was slim to none, they decided to look into adoption. Since then my sister and her husband have adopted two of the cutest boys, and  have given them the most amazing life, they truly are lucky boys, and Kira and Justin are lucky parents. I have watched my sister struggle with, and overcome the idea that she may never have the experience of being pregnant. When I got the phone call from her that she was pregnant (naturally by the way), I was in total and complete shock. Then I just started bawling. Kira and Justin are such deserving parents, and I couldn't be happier for them! I am happy that Kira will get to have this experience, as well as excited for Evan and Landon to get a new addition to  their family. They are such amazing parents and I am thrilled for them! THRILLED :)

    That is so amazing that they were able to adopt and are now having one of their own! So happy for them! My mom had cancer of the uterus and was unable to have kids after 8 surgeries when she was 19. So me and my brother are adopted and we are so blessed!

    how neat! congratulations to them!! my very dear cousin was in the same boat as your sister. she simply could just not get pregnant after years of trying. so they looked into adoption and adopted the most adorable little girl. Then about 18 months after that....she got pregnant! we were all so excited for their family & it's sudden growth. it's like Heavenly Father knows that these children needs good families and parent's to be placed with and THEN they reap the blessing of pregnancy. His plan is quite incredible. congratulations again auntie alycia & sister kira! :)

    I think the old advice is true that if you want to get pregnant after a long time of trying, adopt a baby and for sure, you´ll get pregnant.I might as well follow this soon. ;)

    you know, my mom was an elementary school teacher for years and got to know a lot of her students' families. she told me story after story of parents who couldn't conceive, adopted one or more children, only to naturally become pregnant. i fully believe that sometimes God challenges people with infertility in order to bring children into families who normally wouldn't be there. love this story.
