Would it be wrong???
Would it be wrong to ask for money for our adoption/infertility instead of presents this year for Christmas? I have more than I could ever really need in most areas of my life, but could really use the money to get/achieve something that I desire more than anything in the world.

I think that would be a perfectly reasonable request. It also would let your family and friends take part in supporting and helping you with the adoption/infertility procedures. I think it'd actually make someone feel good giving to such an important process than just any gift. Love you girl and I am praying constantly for you guys!
I too think it would be fine. Especially for your close family that knows what you are going through. I agree that they will probably enjoy giving you something that they know will be put to good use. Go for it!
It would definitely be OK! We buy Christmas presents, or presents in general, for people we love. Generally we try our hardest to make those gifts something they will love and ooo and ahh over. It's even better when it's something they need. From reading your blog I can tell that there is nothing more that you want this Christmas than a little one to join your family. Go ahead, add it to your list and don't think twice about it!
Praying for you guys.
Jennifer and Dave,
I think that is an excellent idea. I talked to your Dad a few weeks ago, said we all have all the things we need (and more) and felt that we should not keep up the tradition of presents. I mentioned making a donation to a charity instead, but we'd much rather give you what would have been spent in presents. I am praying for you every day and know God has great plans for you.
Love,
Kathy
