Wherever your children come from, however they arrive, once you hold them in your arms, you will love them forever. Good luck, and keep an open mind...

Michael,
Your comments warmed my heart. My little brother is adopted, and I wanted to adopt also. Way back then (over 20 years ago) I was told it was much harder for a diabetic mom to adopt a child, than to have a healthy child of her own. I don't know if it's still true or not. My dad died when I was a child, and my only child died. The most special people in my life are not genetically related to me.

I understand the desire to have a child of your own, really. It's a horrible shame that adoption is so difficult, when so many children need good homes.

RELAX Cinnabon!!! I wish you the absolute best.
