[QUOTE="pinevalley, post: 535260, member: 3710"] I agree that Nancy expressed herself brilliantly about all the emotions that go along with adoption and parenting. I'm sure that most of us can relate to what Nancy wrote about the entire adoption process. Part of what upsets my h so much now is that he could probably have been perfectly fine without a child in his life at all. More than 20 years ago I told my h that it was very important for me to become a parent and have a child in our lives. My h and I went through several years of infertility and then we started on the adoption path. I was the one who made all the phone calls and arrangements for our adoption, and my h really followed my lead in all of this. When we finally brought home our son, my h was so happy to have a son. I have always thought that we were lucky to have adopted a son, because it is probably easier for my h to bond with a son than a little girl. I agree with you TL, that even with all the problems of our difficult child, I do not regret bringing this child into our lives. I really can't imagine how empty my life would be if we had never adopted our son. I feel that i am a much better person because of becoming a parent. [/QUOTE]
