We had been told by a fertility expert in April of 2009 that, despite surgery, Anita could not get pregnant because of scar tissue at the ends of both of her fallopian tubes. At that point we started the adoption process because we do not feel that our family is complete. While on vacation in July, Anita discovered she was pregnant which was great news-a miracle!
Unfortunately, just 2 weeks later, Anita started having pain in her belly and so went to the Er and was told that her pregnancy was ectopic (growing in the left fallopian tube). She underwent emergency surgery to remove the tube and the pregnancy that had already started to rupture. The good news is that the doctors did surgery fast enough to save Anita's life, but now she is down to just one fallopian tube and a 25 percent chance of having another ectopic pregnancy-if she can even get pregnant again! She is recovering now and we are of course still on the adoption waiting list and hoping at the same time for another miracle! Stephen is devastated by all of this -he feels like this was his son he just lost, so we will both definately need some time to recover from this loss.
