She has been a wonderful bonus for our family in so many ways. Her older sisters adore her, and she them.The Bookwormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08139740404665123205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34250628.post-65367269077550333512009-03-04T17:32:00.000-07:002009-03-04T17:32:00.000-07:00I understand fear!

I think that's one reason we chose to adopt, falsely thinking it's easier than pregnancy (not), or that you can better control the outcome (not). But adoption has been a blessing, despite our own naivete. Sometimes it's a battle not to let fear dictate what I do or how I live my life. Once the baby is born, fear seems to dissipate and the mother bear instinct kicks in.MilitantMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03016804353250316208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34250628.post-64149121387023717842009-03-04T14:03:00.000-07:002009-03-04T14:03:00.000-07:00Hi, Debbie!

I think that's true for us, at least partly. We have three kids, and each time I was pregnant, my husband worried about us. Was the baby healthy? Was everything going to be OK? Was I going to be OK? Now that I'm over 40, I think we fear the risks of disabilities, and, like you said, not having the energy to keep up with them. But I would love to have more kids! :) God bless you.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04137051756147544296noreply@blogger.com
