Testimonial for Melissa Harris
How does one really explain what it means to have someone you trust in one of the most vulnerable times of your life? How do you let others know just how valuable it is to know that this person, next to your husband, and midwife is going to meet your little one and you are so happy to share this moment with her? Well, I'm going to try my best to let you know how much it meant to me to have Melissa next to me during this time in my life, the time that I never thought would happen.
My husband and I had been struggling with our fertility since we actually started "trying" four years ago. After assistance, and many failures, it suddenly became a reality that we would probably never become parents the so called "natural" way and we learned to let go of our ideal, and pursue another pathway to becoming parents. In steps a charming, smart and funny 11 year old girl who stole our hearts the moment we met her and we knew she belonged to us. Her transition to our family took only about a month and suddenly the other room in the house we thought was going to be for a baby, was filled with fun art and lots of craft supplies. We packed up and gave away our baby books. We didn't need to hold on to those anymore.
Two days after her placement with us, I realized I was late, and suddenly, we were on the path to becoming parents a second time in a matter of 9 months.
That 9 months was filled with time to bond as quickly as we could with our daughter as well as preparing as best we could for our little baby boy. In steps Melissa, answering any and every question I had, no matter how strange. Involving our daugther whenever she could and easing every fear I had whenever I had them. I wish I could type more, but the one thing I must say is, Thank you Melissa, from the bottom of my heart, for helping me go from new mom to a tween to a new mom of a baby with ease. And P.S. I'm sorry you needed to buy new shoes...oh and THANK YOU for the cookies.
