My Sweet Snowflakes

Told by: Emily

I am writing to share my story of my sweet, wonderful Snowflake babies.

I adopted 9 embryos in February 2008 through Nightlight Christian Adoption. My first transfer was June 26, 2008 in which we thawed and transferred 2 beautiful embryos. One embryo grew and developed into our gorgeous Grace Kerah-Isabella who is now 4 1/2 years old.

Unfortunately the other precious embryo, Peace Ivanna, was unable to implant and went home to be with her Heavenly Father. My heart grieves daily at the loss of this sweet little one, but I rest in the hope of knowing we will meet again someday. My second transfer was March 30, 2011. We again thawed and transferred 2 healthy embryos.

Praise God, both of these embryos snuggled in and became my handsome Isaac Jeffrey and Isaiah David who are 23 months! We are in the process of preparing for our next transfer which will be around December 4, 2013.

We will again thaw and transfer 2 more of my beloved embryos and I pray for another set of twins. We will continue to do transfers every 2 years until each of our little ones has a chance to be born.

I pray that all of my remaining embryos are able to thaw, transfer, grow and be born. I love all my Snowflake babies.

Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worse kind of suffering.

— Paulo Coelho

Fear keeps us focused on the past or worried about the future. If we can acknowledge our fear, we can realize that right now we are okay. Right now, today, we are still alive, and our bodies are working marvelously. Our eyes can still see the beautiful sky. Our ears can still hear the voices of our loved ones.

— Thich Nhat Hanh

People have a hard time letting go of their suffering. Out of a fear of the unknown, they prefer suffering that is familiar.

— Thich Nhat Hanh

Hope is important because it can make the present moment less difficult to bear. If we believe that tomorrow will be better, we can bear a hardship today.

— Thich Nhat Hanh

You must submit to supreme suffering in order to discover the completion of joy.

— John Calvin
