The Secret Millioniare.

Shannon and I have been enjoying watching the Secret Millionaire the past couple of weeks on FOX. Millionaires pose as unemployed homeless people in attempt to find good people who help others. The millionaires then determine who they feel has the most to offer others and intern the millionaires help them by giving at least a $100,000.

I think it would be great to do the same thing for couples having infertility issues. Not that we can just give them a baby, but we could give them the money to get infertility treatments like IUI or IVF or to even help them with the costs associated with adoptions.

The worry, stress, disappointment and obsession is bad enough without having the helpless feeling of not being able to afford infertility treatments or adopting a child. I would love the ability to just write a check for these things and help others going through what we are.

A Day of Tears... :-(

Last night night I watched Shannon dance herself silly and having such a great time at the Christmas party we were at last night. We slowed danced through a few songs and I felt so much love towards her. I watched litle girls have a great time as well and envisioned a daughter of our own one day doing the same. But last night that dream came to halt...again.

Todat was a day of tears, as was last night, for both of us. Shannnon had had her period. The pain, the dissapointment, the sadness was the worst yet as another IUI attempt failed. Why is this happening to us? What does God want us to do? Why do we keep having to endure this agony? It kills me to see Shannon so sad. What do we do? Give up? No, the show must go on at all costs. If anyone cares to share your feeling on this please share with us what you are experiencing.
