[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 748730, member: 18958"] [LEFT][COLOR=rgb(20, 20, 20)]My experience has been like Beta's: As far as regret I adopted my son. No. If I did not have him my life would have been a hollow thing. That is the bittersweet thing. He is the center of my life. When all is said and done my life has been my son.

And my son does not. He is highly articulate and curious, we are very like in this way. But aspiration he has none of it.
