My pledge kid from my sorority in college just announced on Facebook that she and her husband are a officially and happily a waiting couple for adoption. This was just after her recent posting that October is National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month and October 15th is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day.
We were only close for a few years in college and even then maybe weren't as close as we should have been. But, honestly, I haven't been in touch with her in the 7 years since I graduated.
I don't know what life has brought her in those last 7 years as I've only had the outline through Facebook, but given these recent postings I'm going to guess that these years have been full of grief and heartache.
But now, knowing what we all know in this little realm of the blogosphere, I could not possibly be happier for her!
Cheers to her and her husband for going public and hopefully also to a short wait!
IF and ALI has definitely made me much more aware of the struggles that people around me have also gone through. YAY for your friend!
ReplyDeleteIt does sound like your friend has had her struggles. Happy to hear they are waiting on an adoption now. Hope it all goes well for them!!
