A few days after my first miscarriage, we had a house fire and were displaced for a year and a half. Six months after our first loss, I experienced a second miscarriage. We did IVF and during the process, 18 eggs were retrieved, resulting in six embryos, but only one was viable. The embryo transfer failed, and the doctor said
When I first started this journey, I never imagined that some of my greatest support would come through a ministry outside of my church. My first group was small, but I kept showing up for group anyway. Through my leader and my first conference, I met women who would become dear friends. Though we live in different parts of the
Going through fertility treatments is an incredibly challenging journey. Doing it while living in a country far from your family makes it even more difficult. I faced countless medical appointments, setbacks, and disappointments, often feeling very alone. Because I did not have a close support network, I often wished I had someone who truly understood what I was experiencing—someone I
I was in the trenches of trying and waiting for a baby for over 7 years. During that time, I lost my faith, went through a divorce from a marriage that should have never happened, and found God again. I remarried in 2021 to the man I had prayed to find all along. I found Moms in the Making at
In December 2022, my fertility journey began when we found out we were pregnant. Sadly, in February 2023, we miscarried. Later that year, after undergoing testing, we were told by two doctors that we had less than a one percent chance of getting pregnant naturally due to male infertility factors. In March 2024, I received a promise from God that
God has been moving in mighty ways in our journey. We experienced unexplained infertility for over four years. The wait was long, hard, and heartbreaking. After four failed IUIs, God called us to become foster parents. We welcomed a four-day-old baby boy in January 2024 and officially adopted him this August. Fast forward to the Moms in the Making conference
Moms in the Making has been more than a resource during infertility or a place for community, it is the ministry that brought me closer to Jesus and revived and strengthened my marriage. In August of 2021, when I found the ministry while in a dark place in our journey, I never could have imagined the profound impact it would
Moms in the Making brought me closer to God and helped me realize how deeply community is needed on this infertility journey. I attended my first conference in 2024 with my mom and knew only one other person, my group leader. I sat at a table of welcoming women who showed me what I had been missing all along. I
We were encouraged before the most recent Moms in the Making conference to come with something specific we were seeking the Lord for. This year for me, that was physical healing. For over four years, I’d had physical pain that began after my first miscarriage, lower pelvic pain, always on the left side. It started small but gradually got worse,
Five years ago, I never imagined the journey God would lead us on. I entered this season longing for children, but what I didn’t realize was how deeply God longed for my heart. I’ve always believed in Jesus, but through three pregnancy losses and the early, terrifying arrival of our 26-weeker twins, God brought me to a place where I
We want to hear your story! Where has God done in your life? Your testimony could be the very thing that restores hope, strengthens faith, and reminds someone else that God sees them and has not forgotten their story.
