This Precious Child
Hello, my name is Gina. I had a tubal ligation in Sept of 1990 after my third daughter was born. I didn’t realize at the time the magnitude of what I had done. I began to seek a closer relationship with Our Lord Jesus after my father died in 2003. I began attending Mass daily and also going to conferences to learn more about my Catholic faith. One conference would begin our journey back to the acceptance of God’s gift of fertility.
I attended a conference in which a couple, Greg and Julie Alexander, talked about their marriage, and how sterilization had been a part of it. They experienced a beautiful change of heart and realization of God’s gift. When the talk was over I was unable to stop the tears, I had to leave. I knew in that moment more than any other time in my life what God wanted me to do, so I asked Him to please help me. As I was walking back to my seat I met up with Mr. Alexander and through the tears was able to tell him what I felt God was calling me to do. He generously gave me a book called Sterilization Reversal: A Generous Act of Love. I treasure that book still today and find great comfort in reading the stories over and over.
When I returned home, I called my family together and told them of my experience. My husband and children were very supportive. Mr. Alexander gave me the website address of One More Soul and they led me to a doctor in Texas.
I had my tubal reversal on Sep 27, 2005. Dr. Rath said everything went well and I had an 80% chance of becoming pregnant. After 6 months of not conceiving I began to feel that another child was not Our Lord’s will for us. After 1 year I stopped being so concerned with becoming pregnant.
Then just this past November I found out that I am PREGNANT!!! As I write this I am 8 weeks and so excited not only for this precious child but just to know that Our Lord chose to bless us once again. I feel so unworthy and yet so loved by Our Lord!!! My family is so happy and excited.
I just wanted to let you know our story and to thank you so much for your help!! May God lead more souls to you and bless you in abundance!!
Sincerely, Gina
