after much heartbreak and testing it is still up in the air as to why I am not a mommy by biology. And finances put us out of the major running with adoption due to its high costs. But maybe in time. In the meantime I have my puppies.
Comments:
Keep trying and never give up.
I can feel your pain, the time will come when you will have children one way or another when the time is right. Life is interesting and live it while you can. Children will change your life forever. I have learned much by my heartbreaks and sorrows but have also lived to put them in the past and focus on the now.
Food for thought
“when the time is right”...When is the time right to start a family? When you have enough money? enough love? Enough time? Old? Young? There is actually never a “right time” to create a family. As for enough money think about this in the last 6 years we have looked twice at adoption, once 6 years ago and the average price was $10-15,000 for an infant and today it averages $18-20K and $30K for international adoption. Every time the goverment helps with $$$ from uncle sam the rates go up thousands. How does that actually help then? Only option left to have children is foster/adopt. where you adopt abuse and neglected children out of the state system, yet if you haven’t had kids they only do respite care where the foster families need a vacation from the worst kids for a year or more to get “Experience” yet they would return these kids over and over again to an abusive family if they were biological families to give them chance after chance to prove they are good parents. Its only when that child is killed are the parents truely ill-fit to be parents.
“live with (life) while you can”... We have done just that for 6.5 years of marriage and 22 years prior to that.
“children will change your life forever”... yes it sure will but that is something I have dreamed of for 12 years. And longed for, for for the last 7 years.
“Focus on the now”... We are doing just that by giving up on having children and focus on creating life through our Labs and breeding Labs.
