We have an 8% chance of having more kids, which isn't nothing, but isn't exactly betting high. I totally know where you are coming from. :/ <BR/>I do whatever I can to make sure my DD has lots of interaction with other kids, esp. her cousins... I even watch another little girl part time just so there is somebody constant/regular for her to play/interact/fight with. lol.<BR/>at the end of the day, though, no matter what the circumstances, you're always going to second guess yourself, it's what mommies do ;) ... so just go with your gut instinct and what you feel will be best for your family as a whole!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04966273181741856577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-44258235202366360.post-74064774955489318482009-03-02T10:38:00.000-06:002009-03-02T10:38:00.000-06:00Sarah my friend!

David and I decided to adopt after much research, and lots of prayer. For me it wasn't a huge sunburst or hallelujah chorus saying this was the right path, it was a quiet reassurance that my HF loved me and that all would be well as we started on this new adventure.LaFishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17808331172057724694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-44258235202366360.post-39223652375282830702009-03-02T08:40:00.000-06:002009-03-02T08:40:00.000-06:00Sarah- i think you need to connect with my sis-in-...Sarah- i think you need to connect with my sis-in-law. She's a BIG TIME blogger- nobiggie.net. They're story is very similar to yours. Have one biological daughter who is now... 6 I think? Born very premature and tiny. (In fact, that is my nickname for her- "Tiny") They just adopted last June after more heartache than I feel comfortable sharing online without her consent. Obviously I don't have much good advice on the matter, but I know she should be more than happy to gain another blog-buddy and tell you first hand about her experience. I do know that they could not be more grateful for adoption- and after so much heatache, K&K have said that it is ALL worth it to have baby A in their lives.Breehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03846520042348956505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-44258235202366360.post-55628085306996533382009-03-02T08:37:00.000-06:002009-03-02T08:37:00.000-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Breehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03846520042348956505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-44258235202366360.post-84154434553085518192009-03-02T08:29:00.000-06:002009-03-02T08:29:00.000-06:00wow, my answer was WAY too long for this space so ...wow, my answer was WAY too long for this space so I sent you an email ;)The Moosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01678755880326114751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-44258235202366360.post-74908661548840472892009-03-01T21:11:00.000-06:002009-03-01T21:11:00.000-06:00Well my friend, all I can say is: isn't it great t...Well my friend, all I can say is: isn't it great to have options? In so many decisions in life, there aren't so many options. It can be turmoil making a decision, but it can also bring you so, so close to your spouse and to Heavenly Father. You know our story....I knew there was one more (okay, so it turned into 6 more, but that wasn't part of my original plan!) and we couldn't have more. So for us, adoption was absolutely the path. But even then there are so many options. Each part of the decision has to be carefully weighed, prayed about and then acted upon. Ain't easy, but it sure feels good when you get to that point and know that you chose the right way!Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18169536399108283497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-44258235202366360.post-88032544829661650062009-03-01T20:14:00.000-06:002009-03-01T20:14:00.000-06:00What does it mean if my kids each have two brother...What does it mean if my kids each have two brothers to play with, and STILL sit outside our door crying for someone to come play with them..... :)<BR/><BR/>That is the CUTEST picture!AnoelleBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17779599003070877346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-44258235202366360.post-82287678171004986662009-03-01T20:07:00.000-06:002009-03-01T20:07:00.000-06:00When Cjane said on her blog that she just KNEW - i...When Cjane said on her blog that she just KNEW - it raised a million questions in my mind - mainly "how did you just know" <BR/>Its a roller coaster of emotions that unfortunately begins again every month and its consuming.<BR/><BR/>It breaks my heart, really it does and I am not sure what the answer is. <BR/><BR/>I do know that Claire is happy child and don't feel bad one second!Janiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08455764039212519400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-44258235202366360.post-21720631242906122882009-03-01T19:45:00.000-06:002009-03-01T19:45:00.000-06:00I just wanted to say that picture of Claire is PRI...I just wanted to say that picture of Claire is PRICELESS!

Just as I'm writing this comment he is asking me to play with him. As much as I try to play with him, I feel as though I can't fill the void of not having any brothers or sisters. I too am trying to make the decision of adoption or fertility treatments. I will be interested in knowing what other people say on the subject. Good luck to you in making a decision!Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13959977777493973454noreply@blogger.com
