A Simple Announcement
As much as I would like to share the stories of what Mrs. Plaid and myself have gone through in the last couple of years in attempts to have a child, these stories are probably not best shared at this point. Perhaps I should say we have traveled done many roads. Among many other things, there was a miscarriage and there was a hysterectomy last year.
At times it seemed like we were merely chasing rainbows from one to the next. When we arrived to the destination hoping to find the reward of our pursuits, we found ourselves unsuccessful. At that point we targeted and plotted a course to the next rainbow.
Months after the miscarriage, a friend of Mrs. Plaid ask if we would consider allowing her to carry our baby, a surrogacy pregnancy. After prayer, consideration, and much discussion we agreed and began the process last October. On January 10th with the help of a doctor, Mrs. Plaid and my baby was created. The doctor then implanted the baby into our friend and by the grace of God, it worked. At the end of September, our baby will be born.
Jesus did say "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends." I believe this is true, but for this friend to give life to a child as a gift for me and my wife is an incredibly humbling gift. It is also another gift that we can never repay.
We're having a baby!

Your friend will have her own type of "reward" from doing this and I know she realizes how much this is appreciated by the both of you. Just wait....if its a girl I can tell you they go completely NUTS at the 15 year mark....and boys are in thier own world for at least the first 9 years (we only get a glimpse of this world by the sound effects they are dribbling aloud.)
How about an official Gun Broker "BABY SHOWER!!!"
What do you say to giving us an address to mail a wrapped baby gift to??? Hmmmm.....can we can we can we can PLEASE!!!! I'm a sucker for these things!0 -
