This month is extremely important to me. It is National Adoption Month. One day I will be ready to have children. Although my heart and soul will be ready to have kids. My body won't allow me. I can't have children. I am barren.

That sentence used to haunt me. "I am barren." I used to fight back the urge to tear up whenever a friend would post a baby announcement or a baby picture. And It wasn't the fact that I wasn't happy for my friends. I was. It was the thought that I will never get that chance to celebrate something like that with my friends and family or be able to create a family of my own. This would eat at me. And at times it still does.

It took me a while to realize that carrying a child isn't the only way to have a family. There are so many options out there and that includes adoption. I used to think that my situation was something that I would have to deal with for the rest of my life, but that isn't true. I get the opportunity to give a child a home. Every child needs a home and a family to love them.

That is what National Adoption Day means to me. It means that I get a chance. I get a chance to create a home for a child that needs it. I get a chance of having my own family. I get a chance to hold a child in my arms and love them unconditionally and call them my child. And one day I will be able to tell my children that they gave me the chance to be a mother.
