Since having children, I still don't get out much (thank goodness for CafeMom!). It does have its benefits sometimes. Being about 4 years behind on my movies, I never have a problem finding a great "new release" at the video store. But other times, I'm just so grateful when someone points out a video, book, or movie that I may have missed. Shout out to JMaistros in the Stay At Home Moms group for pointing this one out.
Some of you have probably already seen this video by country-western artist Kellie Coffey, singing a song about wanting to have a child. It's a tear-jerker, for sure, and is sure to touch women in every stage of mom-dom.

my hubby and I had a long battle with infertility, and are blessed to be adoptive parents......I can't imagine if she wasn't our daughter! this video made me teary eyed! thanks for pointing it out!
omg this video has spoken to me on so many levels...i just recently had a friend tell me they were considering abortion...i didnt know what to say except tell her all the other options she had...i believe any woman who has a heart and saw this video would think twice about killing something that so many long for!!! i love my baby girl and even though i had her at 18 and had wished the whole time i was pregnant that wish i had wait, the moment she came out of me and i heard her first cry and held her for the first time i realized this was the one thing in my life that is forever and it couldnt have happened at a more perfect time...at that point in my life everyone i had ever loved had ran out on me and i was all alone in this world. my baby brought me back to life!!!!!!!!!
This is the first time I ever seen this video and it was great ! I was longing for a baby 6 years ago right after I got married but hubby wanted to wait . I wrote a journal on how hard it was not being able to TTC and my frustration on waiting and wanting . Finally the day came and I got pregnant ASAP but lost the baby a few weeks later. I then got pregnant again within weeks and had a great pregnancy and now my baby is 22 months old. it seems like she has been with us forever like she has always been in the family .
Alot of women should see this video so that they realize what ALL women go through .
It's really sad that many couples have to feel that way when there are teen mom's and moms who have so many children that they cannot take care of. We tried for 3 1/2 years to get pregnant with our daughter, who is 14 months old. I am dreading the long road for baby #2.
This video made me cry.
Wow! That brought back a rush of emotions felt back in my infertility days (about 13 years from wanting a child to finally having one). Thankfully, I was blessed with twins after that struggle (IVF attempt #5, smbc). Back in those days, it was the song "Blessed" by Elton John that brought me to tears. Now this will be added to the collection...

I have three daughters, but am a young mother....I always intended on becoming a mother in 10-15 years time when I've had a career and my babies are in their teens...
But I found out I am unlikely to have children again without medical assistance....and although the NHS (im british) here pay for 1 attempt...I dont think i can deal with the stress and heartbreak it could cause.
My little girls (twins aged 3 and an 11 month old) are my whole world....and I treasure every moment I haev with them. My heart cries for everyone who's trying to concieve...a baby is the best thing a woman can ever do.
