Real...Wow, very profound thoughts on the adoption.<br /><br />Really, none of us are perfect moms and I promise you if I lost my husband, I would be a wreck for quite some time. I'm sure I would care for my kids but the reality is, the whole situation is HARD. Hard for you, hard for them. Don't be too hard on YOURSELF. <br /><br />I often wonder if I'm doing a good enough job with my kids and I am not a widow and all the kids are bio kids (and I point that out because that means the children didn't come with the heartbreak of losing their first family...I totally think adopted children are just as wonderful and precious as bio kids.) <br /><br />I have to admit your GYN docs comment about "being fertile 'til 52" was both funny and frightening. I have many friends who don't use birth control at all, and none of them are having babies past 50. I'm 44 and 5 months pregnant and even THAT is unusual in our community. So I guess while it is possible to be fertile that late, it doesn't seem very likely. Not, like you said, that it matters right now. That was kind of an odd statement but I'm sure she was reeling from knowing you'd lost your husband in the last year.Larabahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17551897982588676543noreply@blogger.com
