Tikvah (Hope)

Hello and thank you for reading and supporting me in my journey. My name is Michel and I am in the process of pursuing an embryo adoption. I always knew that I would be a mother but I never imagined this journey. As I embark on the realization of a dream I have held close to my heart, for as long as I can remember, I am reminded of the significance of motherhood and what that means to me. My desire to be a mom defines me and gives my life a greater purpose. While this path may not seem like an organic process, the choices I have made that have brought me to this decison are sacred. I have struggled with infertility and a deep desire to nurtue and raise a child of my own. While my intended path is not the path I imagined before my diagnosis of infertility it is one that has been built on prayer and discernment. Motherhood is more than just genetics. A mother is one that rears and nurtures and as quoted by Ankuram Modinager "Mothers are one of the first indications of the sovereignty of God in our lives. Mothers teach us to have confidence and belief in ourselves..."

My dream and hope, like Hannah, who knew personally the pain associated with infertility and the desire of motherhood, is to use my vessel to give life to a child that may never have had the opportunity to grow. Like Hannah I want to trust that God has heard my prayers and that I remain obedient and confident in His plan for me and the child I will soon carry and bring to life. I humbly ask for your prayers and continued support as I await the gift that has been promised to me.

Thank you for letting me share my story and journey with you.

God Bless!
