I KNOW that I am one of those SSSLLLOOOWWW learners! Yet I keep trying to take back that control.<BR/><BR/>To fill you in a little on my 'story', we got pregnant the first month of 'trying' for my first 2 children. Then it took 12 years to get pregnant with my 3rd biological child. <BR/><BR/>With adoption, you are so out of Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06425029446264871423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34028562.post-43137263511115062842008-01-25T17:58:00.000-06:002008-01-25T17:58:00.000-06:00I've read it before and enjoyed it.

With regard to the surrender of following God's will in the topic of fertility, family size and openness to life, though, my favorites have to be Kimberly Hahn's Life-giving Love and Christopher West's The Good News About Sex and Marriage. Both are such great reads and such great authors!<BR/><BR/>Jane<BR/>I was just wondering about the reunion status.

I (we) am in the middle of it right now. There's a lot about surrender in it. I think you'll like it.<BR/><BR/>Love,<BR/>CC<BR/><BR/>PS-No one has gotten back to me about reunion btw!

Your post about control resonated with me, it's so true that we learn slowly when it comes to this topic. <BR/>-Joneseeelmcitymomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06416920002814876668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34028562.post-44380028860100203202008-01-24T14:37:00.000-06:002008-01-24T14:37:00.000-06:00You know, at least with pregnancy you can pretend ...You know, at least with pregnancy you can pretend you are in control. This new little being is, after all, inside your own body. You can even set up a calendar of sorts and be at least close to the correct timing of things most of the time.<BR/><BR/>If there was ever anything to kick the control freak habit, I would think adoption would be it.
