Alaina Mayes was diagnosed as infertile, and for several years, she and her husband underwent fertility treatments. At the same time, they were also looking to adopt. Unfortunately, twin girls they had agreed with the birth mother to take into their family developed complications and died just two days after they were born.
Another adoption fell through for legal reasons, and then Alaina got pregnant naturally! No IVF, no IUI, no drugs! And what do you know, it turned out to be twins! The overjoyed mother welcomed her healthy babies just before Christmas and took them home for New Year.
Alaina posted this inspiring message on Instagram two days ago:
God settles barren women in homes as happy mothers of children {Psalm 113:9} & I’m proof of that. I desperately love being a mama. I’ll forever be so grateful that He allowed me to naturally become pregnant with my own children when I was told it would never happen. Then blessed to spend my days with two healthy, growing babies daily. So grateful.
IDoWeddings summarazied the story from Alaina's blog [unashamedgrowth.com] as follows;
‘Here’s the beautiful story of @amayes hers is a story of faith and restoration. After surgery and 3 failed IUI’s she embarked on adopting a set of twin girls upon their birth, but unfortunately they passed a couple of days after they were born. Then, again she was approached about adopting a 10 month old little one who she ultimately chose not to continue the process after an unfortunate court appearance in April.
Then…
In May, yes the very next month, she found out she was pregnant and expecting! No fertility treatments, no alternative medicine assistance…. just God working and blessing in an unimaginable way.
And, then….
At her first appointment in June, she found out she was expecting TWINS! She’s now a joyful mother to twin girls. Hope you are all inspired. May God give you more than your heart desires and may all that’s been lost be restored to you in double portions.’
