The choices that you and Flavio make are going to be what's best for you. Although hard it's what's best. It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks or what they think you should do. Feel what you feel express what you will. You are amazing and blessed you are!!!!<br>Your little beans are just beautiful in everyway!

So while others may say rude and horrible things that make you feel like crap, your decision is just that, your decision. <br><br>We decided to have a vascectomy for my husband last summer. Then a month later found out I was having a hysterectomy. Our reasons are different than yours. I can't imagine your situation. I have severe depression that at one kid I was at where my mom was with five. She made it to 6 and went crazy. I figured 2 was good enough and I'll stop so I can raise my kids. Maybe we'll adopt but who knows. <br><br>I tell you this only to let you know that while different there are those that can empathize with the emotions of this.

Dan and I are going through are own pile of poops over if we are done or not also, with guilt and relief on both decisions, based on the question"how long can we put our girls and ourselves thru this?" The answer is different for everyone, and we can't even figure it out for us, so can't give advice for anyone else, but I can give a hug and say I am SO SORRY for the roller coaster you are on right now.Fostervisionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08613971169712182104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7728752208519426846.post-80021542688567636772008-06-17T17:49:00.000-06:002008-06-17T17:49:00.000-06:00I'm so sorry that you've had to face such ...I'm so sorry that you've had to face such heart-wrenching experiences all at once.

Adoption is hard on both sides, but my heart has always ached for adoptive parents. For me my decision to place my little one was easy. I knew I wasn't ready, and she deserved better. I have never regretted my decision, and wish it was only this easy for other birthmothers so adoptive parents didn't have to be on the roller coaster! I'm sorry from the deepest part of my soul! I truly do feel for you.<br><br>I wish you luck. I'll say a little prayer for your family. Big decisions are hard.

You can say "no" for now and maybe in 5 years something will change completely and then..maybe not. Maybe its best to just call it a "break" from growing the family....a leave of absence that may become permanent....then you can just let go of the pressure to make a "final" decision.Hollyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12737173880847541504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7728752208519426846.post-2865798508053523622008-06-18T06:06:00.000-06:002008-06-18T06:06:00.000-06:00I'll come over and barf on your dry clean only...I'll come over and barf on your dry clean only skirt if you'll come out here and cry in the middle of the night for your woobie.<br>xoxo<br>We need a vacation.moosh in indy.http://www.blogger.com/profile/12536663032282865725noreply@blogger.com
