This is so fascinating and exhilarating and inspiring. Wow! Thank you for sharing this! It's very clear how intentional, thoughtful, and truth seeking you are in this process--something that many parents never come close to. What an incredibly blessed child and beautiful family you'll have.
So beautifully written, and so beautifullly lived! I love the way the Spirit is communicating directly with you through the scriptures to come to the understandings that the Lord would have you know and feel at such a deep personal level. Thank you for sharing your journey with us so vulnerably. I feel so lucky to be a fly on the wall and learning through your experiences. I'm praying that all of the decisions become clear and doors open wide and easily as you make decisions on who will be the egg donor, the woman who will carry your baby, etc. And that the IFV will go smoothly and successfully!
Thanks for sharing this journey. As an ex Mormon and therapist who still has most of her friends & family in the church, I’m happy to hear the way you’re processing all of this. 🩵
2 Nephi 2:25 is the scripture that helped my boyfriend (now husband of 16 years) join the church. He had never investigated a religion that saw the Fall as a part of the plan and that we are here to find joy. I’m so glad that scripture held special meaning for you too.
I love this so much Charlie! You are putting in such tender work, and because of that I know the Lords words “… all things are possible to him that believeth” are just as applicable to you and Ryan. ❤️

Great article! And some great artwork too! Looks like Carly White and Jorge Coco Santiago.
