Infertility During the Holidays
I have great respect for the writings and wise counsel that Russell Webb brings to the adoption community. 'Dealing With Infertility in the Holiday Season' is written with understanding balanced with good advice for those who are yet to be blessed with children.
Russ and his wife, Tina, have adopted two sons with through Hope Adoption Services. Their family has ongoing contact with their boys' birth families.
Russ & Tina have walked out the tough journey of infertility and on to adoption. Their hearts are with ours (Hope staff) in wishing you peace and strength as you rejoice in the 'reason for the season'.
