[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 749297, member: 4152"] I have a friend that couldn’t have children. Multiple issues. She went through the adoption process the first time and the birth mother miscarried. She went through the second time and all was going very well and the birth mom changed her mind upon delivery. She decided it was not meant for her to adopt. I always wondered about that. A very difficult / dangerous pregnancy and delivery caused us to adopt our second child. When the doctor said it probably would not be a good idea to get pregnant and deliver again after our first bio baby was born ...I took it as almost a challenge of sorts. I’m an optimistic. (Well, this entire experience CURED me of THAT!) I’ll simply adopt , I thought. Wow. I’ve had all sort of thoughts too. Spent a few years of therapy due to the guilt. My health issues and decision to adopt changed the trajectory of our family. I don’t know either. I’m better now. I’m a bit of a realist these days. I’m a bit of a hypervigilent realist. Why? Because this experience changed me. [/QUOTE]
