Blessed and Broken
I am a 33 year old wife, mom, foster mom, adoptive mom and FertilityCare Practitioner. After 5 years of infertility, and while waiting to adopt, we conceived our first miracle. With secondary infertility we became foster parents. We adopted miracle #2 last July and are hoping to adopt miracle #3 in the spring.

“Magnify the Lord with me; let us exalt His name together.” summarizes the purpose and mission of our marriage and this blog. Through our marriage and family, we hope to magnify the Lord and bring glory to His name. We married in June of 2006 and thereafter began our journey of infertility and adoption. After three unsuccessful adoptions, we brought home our baby girl, Abigail Chiara, in September of 2010, followed by our precious girl, Gianna Luce, in November of 2011! This blog shares my heart, my life, and what I am learning.

Knowledge Hungry
My name is Jeanne G. My blog is Knowledge Hungry. I am 33, I've been married to Brett since May 2009, and we don't have children yet. I am a cradle Catholic and a novice Lay Dominican. I love to learn, so I blog about things I learn: books I read, Church teaching, cooking, NFP, natural homekeeping, and sometimes crafts.
Women for all Seasons
My pen name is January. I'm 27 years old, and my husband and I have been trying to conceive (without success) since August 2010.I blog mostly about my infertility, but also about Catholic things and random goings on. My blog is a little different because my friend November blogs with me, and she's a fertile mom of two beautiful little ones. My picture is of a pie because I love making and eating pie, and my dream job would be to run a pie shop!

My Heart Exults
I writes: My blog documents our journey through five years of infertility (PCOD and endo), one devastating miscarriage a year ago, and our blessing beyond belief, our son, John Benjamin.
My blog allows me to discuss my feeling about my loss, which I struggle with daily, and the joys of our precious baby - all while trying to live my Catholic faith the best I can. I have a separate, private blog dedicated to the cuteness of little JB, which then allows me to focus MHE on my thoughts and experiences as I attempt to figure out His Will for me.
My Blog Address is http://myheartexults.blogspot.com and my email is myheartexults@gmail.com
Surprise of Unfolding
A writes: I have recently decided I really need to blog about what I am really passionate about right now, and that is my journey with God. It still feels strange for me to be 'religious' in this way, given that my parents are not! I find so much to learn about and love in many faith traditions, and I follow the Catholic faith as that one is the most nourishing for me.
DH and I have been through some hard times together, including some years of the heartbreak of IF. We welcomed our son (now 7 yo) and our daughter (now 5 yo) with such joy. Our struggles now come about due to financial hardship - DH was let go from his high-ranking job back in about 2008, and since that time has done several things. Right now he is working away from home about 3 weeks, and then home about 1 week. We are thankful for him to have the work but it is hard also, as I am working full time in teaching - which I love, but I am in a new role and have a lot to learn. So, I have a great deal to do with work, home, looking after the children; and DH has less responsibility but is not able to spend the time with us that he would like to do. I don't mention my kids often as most of the blogs I visit and comment on are IF-related.
I have a special place in my heart for IF'ers, and IF'ers who have taken the child-free (child-less) path, and singles who feel called to marriage but haven't found their partner. I find so much courage, tenacity, and character among those who have gone through so much - or are going through so much - and how they find peace and a way to keep on living life to the fullest despite the tragedy of their great desire going unfulfilled. Sometimes their faith plays a role in this, and sometimes not - either way I consider many of them to be heroic (though that is unrecognized by most).
I love to think of God's light shining throughout the world, through all people who are seeking him (in whatever faith that might be). I desire to be as clear as I can be every moment (and sometimes I am very murky indeed) so that His light may shine through me. Perhaps at different times in life, different parts of his light shine through. I wonder, as we become older and wiser, how much of his light can truly be transmitted through us?? All these beautiful miraculous colours, I hope!
