How many of us grew up with the idea that we’d be able to naturally conceive a child as soon as we were ready to start a family?⁠ ⁠ When there are delays in conception, it immediately brings you to a reality that something you thought would be easy your entire life — something you thought would be natural — isn’t what you expected. And that can be hard.⁠ ⁠ But what comes next depends on your mindset. It can be so devastating that it feels like no way forward. Or, it can be a shift in your worldview. It can expand your view of parenthood. It can show you that conception happens when you are really ready for it, not when you think you’re ready. Or that conception isn’t the only way to parenthood, and that can open up new, beautiful options for building a family.⁠ ⁠ #fertilityawareness #organicconceptions #adoption #nontraditionalfamily #family #fosterfamily
