So the whole kid thing has been a big hurdle in my life. You seem to be in a much better place than I am!<br />*here for iclw*Rachael Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02986305836179588148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2960914540752407279.post-26748616448338378072011-02-09T06:24:19.278-08:002011-02-09T06:24:19.278-08:00Sometimes I'm too definitive in my decisions I...Sometimes I'm too definitive in my decisions I think. I make one, and I don't want to sway from it.

...Oh, gosh, I'm like that with magazines, too. <br /><br />It is only as I've gotten older that I have begun to feel the weight of choices--in my 20s it seemed like every choice was "now" or "maybe later," never really "yes" or "no." <br /><br />You're a very wise woman, Andrea.

What if? ... in every difficult decision. It's the not knowing, for me.<br /><br />Our decision was to have children and to not think of the way we did it as second best. We went in to our second IVF knowing it was a long shot ... but also knowing that we would also be starting adoption procedures at the same time.<br /><br />Had we gone the adoption route I know it would have been easier for me than my husband ... I been raised in a divorced family with my stepmother and dad ... I'm closer to her than my biological mother and we always had foster children living with us ... adoption seemed a natural for me ... especially in light of the fact that I'm so close to the mom I'm NOT genetically related to.<br /><br />I wish you much luck and happines with your decision.Merri Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01777226666974537073noreply@blogger.com
