Empty Hands to Open Arms

Hopelessness and loss are the common companions of infertility. All infertile couples long for resolution, for one more glimpse of hope… but that hope fades with each attempt to conceive a child.

Empty Hands to Open Arms is one such journey. Page after page, Paula Hernando describes the loss of a child she would never get to meet, conceived only in her and her husband’s imagination. She illuminates her lifelong struggle of trying to bend the hand of God in order to conceive or grant her a child through adoption.
