I think many infertile couples are having trouble conceiving because of the stress they put on themselves to conceive. How's that for a "Catch 22"? That the very reason they can't have children "naturally" is because they want children so much, that they are making it impossible to even have children. If I could give those infertile couples a little advice, I'd say "relax, whatever will be will be". However, I know some of them will not take this advice, so I'm going to go out on a limb, and say that "what if all of their efforts were actually more fruitful than they think they were".
It's really, all in how you look at it, let's say there's a little bundle of joy that really wants to be their child but ends up having to find an 'alternate route' into the loving, nurturing arms of her parents. There is a child, out there somewhere, waiting for her mommy and daddy to take her home. Away from that secondhand cradle, that she lays in just waiting for her mommy and daddy to pick her up and tell her she's all theirs. The fact that she doesn't look like her parents is of no consequence to her. All she wants is for her parents to come and get her and say "there you are my little princess, it's time to go home". But she can't go home not yet, anyway. Would you like to know why she can't go home? It's not because of anything she did wrong nor is it anything her parents did wrong. It's because her parents don't realize that their precious little angel has been born to another woman, who either can't take care of her, or was unable to bond with her because she wasn't really hers to begin with, or some other, unknown, reason could be afoot.
Now, I ask you is that enough of a reason to consider adoption? Because if it isn't I have another ploy I could try. For example, if an infertile couple were to adopt a child and be perfectly content with just having the one child. They might just get a pleasant surprise later on, and their child will have a baby brother or sister. I think it's because the stress of trying to have a baby is no longer there, thus it became easier to conceive, thanks to the presence of their older adopted child.
Well, now that I've clarified the reason I named my blog the "Smartass Diaries", I think I'll give it a rest, for now at least. So, stay tuned and please follow my blog. Well, goodbye for now, but not for long.
