When walking the road of infertility you often just want to know when is all this pain, heartache and disappointment just going to end and why do I have to go through all this?

I received the answer to both of those questions one year ago today … April 9th, 2009.

I knew in my heart all along that God did have a magnificent plan in all our struggles with infertility. I was just waiting for the day for God to reveal that plan to us.

One year ago today I went to the adoption agency to turn in our paperwork and heard these incredible words: “We had an adoption fall through last week, if you want a baby in June you can have one!”

After a whirlwind of transitioning from an infertility treatments mindset to a I-am-going-to-FINALLY-be-a-Mommy-in-TWO-months mindset, Little Bug was born 48 days after I walked into the adoption agency.

I knew I was witnessing a miracle that God had orchestrated from the very beginning of my infertility journey. He knew this was the direction we were headed. I had no clue adoption was in our future as we first started trying to conceive in August 2007. I could only trust God to lead and direct my path.

And He most certainly did. God orchestrated the events that brought us Little Bug as only HE could do.

All the pain, tears and monthly disappointments were because God’s Plan wasn’t a biological child for us. He had Something More planned.

He orchestrated The Miracle of Little Bug and one year from that April day I continue to stand in amazement of His faithfulness.

God is forever faithful.
