“Be thankful for the child you already have”

“I suffered from secondary infertility after the birth of my (now) 12-year-old son. I experienced seven miscarriages over six years before my miracle biological twins arrived via surrogate. I would say this: secondary infertility is a peculiar place to be. We know that we should appreciate the child we already have, and that others that struggle with infertility may not have a child at all. That doesn’t mean that our desire for more children is any less important than anyone else’s.”
