Against all odds, I knew I would be a mother
I knew it would happen
To feel the heartbeat for the first time
To shop for the first little outfit
To furnish the room
To plan for the future
To feel a life growing inside of me
Against all odds, I knew I would be a mother
To yearn for something so long
To try for so many years
To know in my heart and soul
To not give up
To keep going
To feel complete
To feel whole
Against all odds I knew I would be a mother
To care for another human being
To teach him or her to love and laugh
What a blessing
My parents would be so happy
A grandchild
Against all odds, I knew I would be a mother
As a little girl I knew I would be a mommy
I planned out names
I planned futures
I planned and planned
I cried
I screamed
I fought
I felt so alone
I prayed
I bargained
I knew it in my soul that it would happen
Against all odds, I knew I would be a mother
Years passed
Praying
Crying
Trying and trying
IUI, IVF, donor, surrogate, adoption
My child, our children
And I just knew
Against all odds, I knew I would be a mother
To my fellow infertility warriors, I know that our children, no matter how they come to us, will look at their parents and know, that they are cherished and loved and how we worked so hard to bring them into this life.
