I've actually DAY-DREAMED about something like this because it really is a dream...for adoption to somehow morph into surrogacy, therefore leaving most of the horrible feelings of loss and sadness behind...<br /><br />Almamay makes an interesting point.<br /><br />Anyways, keep us posted.Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10508311786790783786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26805135.post-69689920668021385402011-02-10T14:47:48.732-05:002011-02-10T14:47:48.732-05:00Gosh.

But it seems not.<br />Have you thought of posting on the forums on adoption.com? Might be someone there with experience of something similar (I know some kids' birth parents have several subsequent children that they place, but this isn't the same, however I do occasionally wonder if some pregnancies might be a tiny bit not unplanned if you see what I mean, and that could be because of unresolved loss though it could also have a tiny bit of "no 1 son is so happy, so it won't be the end of the world if I place another child").DrSpousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07259337858075146058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26805135.post-43663833021150042972011-02-10T12:56:01.721-05:002011-02-10T12:56:01.721-05:00Wow, I didn't see that coming either.

How totally awesome and nerve-wracking at the same time. I love that they think so highly of you. And what an incredible gift it would be for both Henry AND you & T. But I understand that it's far from a done deal.<br /><br />Almamay's comment has me wondering if they're actually pregnant. If not, I wonder if they are aware of the possibility of giving Henry a full sibling without CC going through the pregnancy herself. That's probably just my cycle-crazy brain talking, though; you seem to be past treatments and I really don't blame you.<br /><br />Okay, I think you can tell from this comment that you have blown my mind.

And it would be cool for Henry to have a biological sibling. And it's fantastic that they care so much about him - and you guys. But wow, that's a lot to think about!Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16003334714597731355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26805135.post-89083575780467860422011-02-09T20:23:56.513-05:002011-02-09T20:23:56.513-05:00My mind is blown.

And as a secondary infertility sufferer, somehow I can't help but worry, what if after all is said and done, they can't? The guilt could be devastating. <br /><br />I'm sorry to be the cynic.

I can only imagine all the things going on in your head right now. <br /><br />As an adopted child, I think it would have been amazing to grow up with a full biological sibling. It is an amazing offer, but yeah, are they really ready to do this? <br /><br />I don't know what to tell you about the dog situation.

That is one lucky boy. <br /><br />BTW, not that what I think matters but I think you handled it very well when you were broadsided with the offer.Almamayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07206790533323008540noreply@blogger.com
