Back from DC & Bad News

Well I am back at work after a week's vacation in DC. The trip was fun, but my wife miscarried on Tuesday. :( I was at the Smithsonian when I got a call from her from the hotel in tears. The rest of the week was very long and to be honest not that much fun as we were with another couple.

Thanks to everyone for their prayers. We're thinking about looking into adoption as this is my wife's second miscarriage.

Oh dear, Im terribly sorry to hear this news. I will be saying a prayer for your family and i hope that your wife is feeling alright. I know this is such a sad time for you.

I really hate to hear that. It is really a sad time. We went through the same thing 2 years ago and it is a tough time. Hold on to each other and work through this period.

It's entirely possible for a full-term pregnancy even with multiple miscarriages. The toughest part is the emotional stress. You'll be surprised how many people that you know have had miscarriages and went on to have kids. Don't lose hope.

Good luck and our prayers are with you.

Oh man, do I feel your pain. We went through two miscarriages and they threw us both for loops. Be there for your wife and walk through it together. If you decide not to have children, I think adoption is a great opportunity to consider. Prayers for both of you!

((hugs)) I'm so sorry for your loss. As wannab@dis said, its quite possible to have a successful pregnancy even after multiple miscarriages... if my mom hadn't tried again neither my sister nor I would be here (she had 2 miscarriages). This is a very personal decision as only you & your wife know if you can deal with the stress again.

We both think there is a possibility she can get pregnant again. I just don't know if we can emotionally go through another miscarriage. My wife was scared of every little thing that happened with this pregnancy. I can't imagine how she would act during another.

I am so sorry for both of you - my husband and I went through the same thing and it is can be devastating. Keep talking to each other and be open to what comes your way.

I was unable to get pregnant after several miscarriages and we decided to adopt through an agency that handled overseas adoption. Our daughter arrived at 6 months old and has been the light of our life ever since. We couldn't ask for a more giving and loving child.

Thanks tigsmom! Just wanted to post something of a hopeful nature. Even when things seem the darkest, try to hold on to something positive to get you through those times.

We're seriously considering making an appointment with a local nonprofit organization that helps place kids whose parents had to turn them away. They have grants you can apply for to help fray the costs. We'll keep our fingers crossed. We want a little one to share Disney magic with.

Kevin, I want to extend my deepest and most heartfelt condolences to you and your wife. The most important thing is to be there for each other.

I hope the adoption pans out for the both of you because I know you'll make a great loving father.
