You do lose all modesty when dealing with infertility. I told my doctor when we did the mucus test, that was worse than going to dentist without brushing your teeth!! <BR/><BR/>My husband is a big weenie, I had to give the shots to myself. He turned a pale white just looking at the needles. <BR/><BR/>But the best part of the story is now we have a beautiful 2 year old daughter! Beautiful when she is not in the floor kicking and screaming whe I put milk in the wrong color sippy cup!! We adopted her from birth.

Knew of the surrogates, etc. You've handled it all from adoption to birth to cancer x 3(including you). Nothing brings you down, thus why "The Unsinkable Molly Brown" Please note I have never seen "The Unsinkable Molly Brown" so if there are bad connotations associated with that, I'll beg forgiveness now!<BR/><BR/>I went down the infertility road as well for 8 long, hellish years and lost quintuplets in the process.

Yo...First of all--THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. You're the first parent of biological children that I have ever heard say that our kids are our kids, regardless of how we get them, and that means the world to me. I "married" my kids and here is the deal. I love them with everything that I have; for them, I would stand in front of bullets or any kind of danger. I have always known, deep in my heart, that they are the children that were meant for me--and I was also meant for them. In my case and circumstances, it always has been and always will be so beyond being their "step" parent. Even if I HAD given birth to children--which I did not--I know I would not love them any more than I love the two that I have. And the grandkids? Well, now--THAT'S A WHOLE OTHER STORY. In a nutshell--HEAVEN. So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for acknowledging ALL parents. Not all people do.<BR/><BR/>Bring it on, and quickly--please. As many details as you care to give. I think I speak for most, if not all of us, when I say--WAITING, EDGE OF THE SEAT!! I would be honored to read any and everything you want to share.<BR/><BR/>YOU ROCK.kim-dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11650811256788756378noreply@blogger.com
