[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 86604, member: 393"] TM, What a heart breaking question. I dreamed of having 3 kids - the gender didn't matter. As my sister was terminally ill when I was young, I learned early that life can throw "a wrench in the works". However, I assumed I would have 3 healthy, for the most part, happy children. My plans changed when we decided on adoption; in fact, I had no desire to adopt after learning it wasn't in my best interest physically to have children. I worked on my career - worked 6 years or so doing the accounting in the advertising industry. I enjoyed that environment, loved the travel & chaos. I also knew that once 5 pm came around I could shut it down & walk away for the evening. When we decided to adopt, in fact it's in our home study, after a year of maternity leave I had planned to get back into the work force. I had lined up day care for the tweedles, with backup care for sick days. What I planned & what happened are so opposite of the reality. [/QUOTE]
