I feel like this journey has been helping me to grow in my understanding of some of the lyrics of the worship song "King of my Heart". In particular I think of the day we finally got to sign the legal papers and the two embryos were finally ours. It was so easy to sing … Continue reading 18. He is Good …

“Something is happening! Something is happening, and it is very good!” the Creator spoke to the two little ones' souls. The littlest one turned to his twin brother trembling with excitement, "What do you think it is?"
Rusty’s Pizza Dream
Jason was sitting behind a desk chatting with a coworker on the other side of it. As they talked, the wall opposite exploded in shrapnel and a car burst through smearing the coworker and smashing through the desk leaving Jason crying in pain and bleeding out on the floor. I awoke. “Jesus no!” It took … Continue reading Rusty’s Pizza Dream
16. Is this it?
We were told that if we waited a month or so there were a few new families that were going through the process of donating their embryos.

We were told in July 2016 that we might be pregnant within a few months, if everything lined up. However, that was not our journey.

Rusty’s 3rd Bee Story – Part 1
The following summer I went on a canoe trip with three friends. We were three days into a seven day canoe trip exploring one of the river and lake systems in Algonquin park. I had never been as far away from “civilization” before. I don't remember us seeing another human being in over a day. … Continue reading Rusty’s 3rd Bee Story – Part 1
12. Embryo Adoption?
A little later, I felt prompted to go to a website of Focus on the Family pertaining to adoption – “Waiting to Belong”. I had gone there four years ago and nothing clicked, but this time I went to the bottom of the page and saw a couple sentences about ... “What is Embryo Adoption? … Continue reading 12.
