[QUOTE="keista, post: 469088, member: 11965"] It is OK. You should not feel guilty. You are stuck between a rock and a hard place, because you want to save these two little ones, but the price you pay may be your other children and husband. No matter what you decide, someone is going to suffer. BUT you don't really know that. What if the next family to take these two is the one that was really meant to? What if they are able to build on your successes and be even more successful because they had no other children to start with and could devote more time and resources to them. Yes, I know your mind naturally goes to the negative possibilities, it's the protector in you. However, a positive outcome for these children without you is equally possible. Do you want to deny them of that possibility? At your family's expense? [/QUOTE]
