But is ...It would have hurt because I am sensitive. But is she right? No ... God is the only *thing* that can make you complete! If she has elevated her child to that position ... she has a problem.<br /><br />That said ... the pain of infertility is VERY real and there will be days when it hurts like the dickens!<br /><br />About adoption ... I understand your stance BUT there are so many precious children who are already in this world with no one to love them. It's not like you would be bringing a new child into the world. This child is already here. What do you think there possibly is that you would be denying that child by adopting him/her? They aren't asking for the most current gadgets or the most expensive education. They just want someone to love them unconditionally and a place to call home!<br /><br />BethBeth Zimmermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07047047792782914757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1459058246769120843.post-90451985437247893222011-08-10T12:33:49.042-05:002011-08-10T12:33:49.042-05:00Carol,
I am sorry to hear that your sister-in-law...Carol,<br /><br />I am sorry to hear that your sister-in-law would say something like that to you knowing all that you have been dealing with. I personally think that it doesn't matter if you have kids or not, but the type of person you are is what makes you whole. After all you could have kids and be a horrible person to everyone around and that would make you less of a person. I have known you for most of my life and you have always been one of kindest people I have ever met. I think that you would make a great parent if you ever had a child or adopted, but always remember that you are a whole person because of the type of person you are.jessica climiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07561058442538585804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1459058246769120843.post-48337106275378742072011-08-10T12:10:31.778-05:002011-08-10T12:10:31.778-05:00Carol, I'm really sorry she would say somethin...Carol, I'm really sorry she would say something like that. Besides, in my Bible, a person is whole whether they are married, single, a parent - doesn't matter. <br />My wife and I don't have kids, and it was a mutual agreement. We're past the years for kids now (at least in my book) and my wife says she has no regrets. Yes, most of our friends have kids, but I no longer feel left out. Besides, when they start complaining about their troubled teens and how much they cost, I just smile!Alex J. Cavanaughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09770065693345181702noreply@blogger.com
