Are these not the most precious angels ever? I had a friend who once did the ring on a string test to see how many children I would have. Every time she did it, I was to have 4 children. Three boys and then a girl. I still think this is true.
See Aiden and Stephen 
were the first children we brought into our home. Steve and I tried desperately to have children. We did 9 rounds of Clomid without success. Our doctor said it was time to move on to fertility treatments. Our insurance covered nothing so we weighed our options and decided to go through adoptions. I did some research and we chose an agency. In July 
2003, the agency called with some good albeit shocking news. We had been chosen by a birthmom. The shocking part: The call came in on Monday and we were scheduled to bring home our bundle of joy on Tuesday. OH WAIT The shocking part. Not one bundle of joy but TWO were going to come home with us. Yes in less then 24 hours our home was going to double in occupancy. We had some fears of course but we soared ahead. I won’t go through all the ups and downs but there was a delay and the boys came home to us on Thursday instead of Tuesday. They were ours. We loved them, cared for them, feed them, bathed them and got them back to a fully healthy status again.
At day 28, we got the dreaded call. Birthmom had revoked her consent to adoption and with that our boys left our home. If they ever happen to come across this page I hope they know we loved them dearly and prayed that they had all the needed in life. We wouldn’t have changed a single moment we had with them.

They are beautiful. What a touching post – I can’t imagine how difficult it must have been to give them up. (Hugs)
How hard it must have been to give those babies back….at least you know they are with their birthmother. They are beautiful babies. Happy ATWT.
I know that must of been very hard for you to do. You post was beautiful– Thanks for sharing!
Happy ATWT. What a beautiful tribute to those little ones! Must have been so very hard to give them back
It is easy to see how much you love those boys. I am so glad that they had the chance to be loved so much.
What precious pictures.
That was so not what I expected the post to turn out like. My heart aches for you – that must have been so incredibly hard.
Oh Holly. I am so sorry this happened to you. I just cannot imagine. This is why I chose not to do infant adoption, but to adopt a child in foster care who has already been signed over. I’ve lost too many babies to miscarriage that I think the rollercoaster of emotions with the situation you had to endure would put me over the edge. I am so sorry. My heart is aching for you. Those were your babies.
(((Hugs)))
PS How on earth did you do 9 cycles of clomid?? I’m on cycle 2 and I’m ready to lose my mind….
Oh, Holly! I missed this post yesterday… What a beautiful tribute to 2 beautiful babies…I’m so sorry you had to go through the heartbreak. That would be so cool if they run across your page some day and see how much love they got from you and your hubby! ((HUGZ!!))
God bless you & your love. I don't know how you did it but He loves you for it.
