I just found this site and I am so glad. As I sit here, typing with one hand because I'm nursing my two week old, I would love to tell you why we want a large family. First, I love what Tanya posted. Also, I an so impressed by Adoptivemomtosix. Congrats to you and many blessings to you.

Two weeks ago I had my fourth child. What is special about this? Well, nine years ago I had my tubes tied after the birth of my third child. After many years of health problems, I found out about Tubal Ligation Syndrome. That led us to several reversal websites. They talked about G-d deciding your family size and what scripture says about children. G-d was working with us regarding the decision we had made to cut off His blessings to us.

Eventually, we were able to go and have a reversal and did so for our 16th Anniversary. A little over a year later, I am sitting here holding this perfect little baby boy. We wonder, over and over, why we ever wanted to prevent more blessings. How many would we have had at this point? How many sweet babies did I not nurse and cuddle because of my selfishness?

Now, we are open to however many blessings G-d will send our way! I just hope they are far enough apart that I can really enjoy each one.
