I know from personal experience. We waited 7 years for our first child...and then they didn't stop coming! My last arrived when I was 40! After cancer, lots of scarring, and a 30% abruption, I figured my chances for another child were slim to none.
Surprise! God can do a whole lot with "none," and even more with "slim."
Prayer will be even more important, though, if God has different plans in mind for your Mom and Brian. There may be a little one out there who desparately needs them as loving parents, who God has chosen for them to parent. As any adoptive parents will tell you, they love that child just as much as any child they conceived together. My husband and I were strongly considering adoption, had even downloaded applications, when I discovered I was pregnant. I'm hoping when my children are older, we can open our home to one of these precious angels.
I'm praying that it does work for them...but if it doesn't, encourage them not to close their hearts to little ones who are aching for a loving, nurturing home. There are so many of them out there!
prayers going up.

Prayers sent.
Prayers lifted for your mom and her husband that our Lord Jesus Christ will grant them the gift of a child of their own — a healthy child who will bring them much joy for many years to come, and yes, a legacy for your step-dad.
Your request is sincere and legitimate.
A little background helps with knowing
how to pray. You did just fine.

BTW...if your mom is only 40, how old are YOU?? You must be a young pup yourself.
Kathy and Brian are in my prayers this evening.
19 as of this May.
My niece just gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. She is 41.....they have two other children, a son 12 and daughter 8...what a prize he is...
Praying that your mom will be able to carry a baby... God knows best.
prayers up for successful babying!
Prayers for mom and Brian.
Ah, a young conservative. Praise God!
My prayer is that your mother and your stepfather will become parents ... no matter how.
Update.
10 embryos have been fertilized. Implantation will occur on Wednesday. On July 6th, she’ll find out if she’s pregnant.
Here’s hoping!
