think at it this way. god gives people who dont want kids , babies so maybe they will change there life around then the people who want kids it will come later because god already knows we are saved .

[pixelatedDream]

so beautiful

[HalfShadith]

Thank you. Beautiful. Right there with you.

[kellyleej1]

Also in the same boat, have been going though this for 4 years now. Thanks for you vid it really rings true in so many ways. I am so glad you put the pics of the men in there, they feel the pain as much as we do. Lets hope all of our dreams come true one day soon.

TTC for 9 years .. great video

[ShrapnelSong]

Dont worry. My dad isnt my biological dad, but I love him just the same, he's the only dad I've ever had, and he's been with my mom since I was real young. If you adopt a young child, ( the younger the better) then he or she will grow up with you as their mother/father and will have the same love for you that any biological child would. Plus, the fact that you would be willing to accept someone's baby means an abortion for that person/couple would be much less desirable.

[watzegjemedaarnouvan]

Thank you so much for this video that says all I cannot say. It is a lonely road.

[sebayetset]

This is beautiful. TTC for 9 years now, no luck...thank you for making this video. It's beautiful and brought tears to my eyes.

[thethingsineversaid]

[JustMakingComments]

I have no desires to have kids yet I totally empathize.

[leb12345leb]

[rasavilasini]

[Ameisemei]

Thank you!

[jslilwifey]

i'm 19 my dh is 27. we've been married for over 2years[ttc also].we've had 1 miscarriage,1 "pahntom" pregnancy, and 1 false +. i've had 3 losses prior to marriage[5babys total,once was twins]. my cycles are messed up, but all test have come back perfect, no cysts, nothing. i have messed up cycles, for no reason. this video really hit home. i know i'm young but it makes it even harder, who thought at 19 i'd be able to say i'm infertile. 24 months empty arms. stay strong, you're not alone-Juli

[axm2norz]

How do i keep myself from not hoping...? every month...can't do this!

[prkygth]

I remember feeling this same way, please remember that you are not alone- there are so many of that understand the pain that you are feeling. I wish you hope and peace and send you love and healing thoughts. Sara

[mesa0105]

Wow! I am wiping my tears as I am writing this. I have gone through three years of infertiltiy and this does bring comfort and a sense that someone out there does know what I am going through. Thank you so much

[mrslamatthews]

this bought tears to my eyes i really relate to this so thank u

[prkygth]

PJ- Thank you- this along with your blog have helped me to be able to come to terms with my next step along this journey of my life- this journey that was not part of my plan- but finding you and the others in the community have helped me understand my feelings and realize I am not alone- Thank you from the bottom of my heart- Sara

[000meggy2008]

I also feel the same way. All this time i thought i can just ignore it, but now i have to be brave and face this condition i have. I am glad to find there are other people who understand. Thank you

[prkygth]

Always remember that you are never alone on this journey- this isn't something that you have to 'ignore'- be brave, there are many of us out there, more than you think that have been through this and we do understand. Go to blogspot or blogher you will find a very wonderful community- Sara

[000meggy2008]

thanks a lot. i have been seeking for blogs & websites about this, esp about POF. i will go there at once.

[Erica71]

Also going through this. Wanted to say thank you for posting this video. It brought tears, but I could relate to all of it.

[lagrimasdeluna]

i wish some people can understand the pain of not being able to be completed i suffer from pcos i am only 23 and feel like if y time is running out i feel trapped thank u for not making me feel alone anymore

[gumnutbabyB]

You are definitely not alone! But you are so much younger too, I'm 33 and have suffered two miscarriages, it has been 18 months since & I am still not pregnant. Please don't start thinking that your time is running out but don't take a doctor's NO for an answer, somethimes they are too complacent about PCOS.

[gbutterflyme]

thank you for posting this - it brought tears of recognitin to my eyes - I agree with teh poster who said - it is hard to find anything by somoene who has not "made it to the other side" by achieving pregnancy. some of us never do achieve pregnancy - my making it to the other side is starting the adoption process - but it is not a resolution in the same way as pregnancy. thank you again for sharing this

[bubba2711]

amazing. I felt a connection to every photo. It's such a painful journey. well done :)

[liverjen]

I have no words Pamela Jeanne. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

[pcmbourget]

Hi Pamela Jeanne,

I was wondering if you could tell me the name of this song by Tracy Chapman...I've been searching and can not seem to find it on any of her albulms. It comforts me to listen to it and I'd like to put it on my iPod. If you could help me I'd be greatful! Thanks and be well...Pam

[PamelaJeanne12]

It's called "The Promise" ... it's from her CD "New Beginning," and yes, it brings me great comfort, too. She brings a beautiful, haunting quality to this lovely set of lyrics.

[pcmbourget]

I have never watched or been touched by anything so painfully beautiful. My heart hurts so badly right now and my thoughts and deepest prayers for peace and contentment go out to you Pamela, and everyone else who has surrendered to pain this experience has brought to our lives. Blessings...Pam B.

[PamelaJeanne12]

Thanks for your comments one and all. I wish we all never had to experience this depth of sadness and loss...

[alicemariedixon]

everything in the vid is exactly how i feel. it's as though i made it good luck and baby dust to all who watch xxx

[hutch1177]

Thank you!

[WykkedSyn]

thank you for posting this video, I suffer from infertility and it struck close to home, it made me cry. Thanks for getting the word out there.

[irinaderevko12]

Thank you for not ending this with a happy ending (infertile couple gets a baby). I'm having trouble finding much in print to help me with the fact that I'll NEVER be a mother. Too many books that try to be helpful are written by someone who crossed that bridge. It is hard to read something by someone on the other side.

[serengetigold]

Your choice of song is a beautiful accompaniment to a video so beautifully done...

[milehighmandm]

Really lovely montage of the journey that all too many couples experience in their quest for parenthood. Thank you for sharing.

[wishing42]

that was very moving. I like how you included pictures of men...they struggle too

~Jen

[kareno67]

I love this Tracy Chapman song! The images and thoughts behind everything makes it touch my heart even more, this is so beautiful Pamela Jeanne, thanks for sharing!

[zbayardo]

what a beautiful choice for a song.

[thetowncriers]

The song is beautiful and some of those images are stunning. I love the painting of the woman with the long red hair. Very haunting.
