I am glad to hear about you and your daughter though. :Of course they can, I never said they couldn't, just that I could not give what was needed. If you can, then you should.
Thank you. It truly is a life changing experience. I had her when I was 24 and my world literally stopped. She's a great kid and if I could afford to adopt another child with DS, I would in a heartbeat.
We all do what we feel is best for ourselves, families and future. It's the best we can do considering the circumstances we are given. I admire your honesty with the subject. I lost a baby two years ago and just at the beginning of October, I got a tubal ligation and an ablation done. I'm 44 with two daughters and two step-sons ranging in ages from 11 to 20. My plate is full and I'm happy. I am happy for your family and I'm positive that your daughter has the best mom and dad ever.
This topic is very emotional, that's for sure. You are a sweet person, and your children are truly lucky to have someone like you as their mom. I mean that. I can only wish I were half the mom people think I am, or that people like you are.
I feel like I need to call my mom and thank her for washing my laundry, and finding lost shoes 5 minutes before school, and making a fire at 6am so we would be warm when we woke up, and all the things I took for granted as a child. It is so important. So many kids aren't that lucky.
