‘IT’S NOT THAT I DON'T WANT CHILDREN, I CAN’T HAVE THEM’



I love talent shows and I am particularly drawn to America’s got Talent on NBC.
I was watching the semi-finals last night when this dance group ‘Silhouette’ (made up of kids and young adults who specialise in using the shadows from their dance routines as their presentation), was featured. Usually there is an introduction of each act, just before they take to the stage and I heard this group’s choreographer, an older type woman, said, while fighting back tears, “it fills my heart when they call me mom. I have no children of my own and it is not that I do not want any, I just cannot have.” There presentation moved the audience and judges to their feet and I am quite sure they now have a place in the finals.
Needless to say, my eyes welled up with tears as this woman poured out the yearnings of her heart in that quick moment  and my mind immediately went back to a post I did some time ago, entitled, ‘what about those who infertility has subjected to a life without biological children.
See link below:-
Infertility hurts deep, and if you come across those who have somehow made it known that they are so suffering, just know that they are hurting at the core.
