I'd have been less gracious, I think.

I agree wi...How Hurtful Marva . . . that is awful!<br /><br />I agree with Mimi - best to kill them with kindness.<br /><br />There have been several times that people = friends AND relatives will say something like . . . "do they look like their REAL mom or dad?" (about my boys)<br /><br />It is really hard to take sometimes, but I always get through it. Many times I will say, "Oh, you mean the biologicals" or "Oh, do you mean the egg donor or sperm donor, because they were NEVER parents to my boys.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4751281024135783303.post-84507008855574165572009-06-29T15:17:32.094-07:002009-06-29T15:17:32.094-07:00Gosh, what a lot of news!

I think maybe I will have to come and visit you one day to sample some of your delicious peaches.<br /><br />Glad to hear that you are better, and WOW great news about your Mom, I am so happy!<br /><br />I am keeping your cousin's sick baby in my thoughts, as I am with your Mom's sister and your nephew. Sometimes life can be cruel.<br /><br />OUCH. What a nasty comment, and well done you for ignoring it, and not sniping back at the person. I do not understand how people can be so insensitive at times, it really does make me cross. Your boys are beautiful and they are indeed a gift from God, as (I believe) all children are.<br /><br />Hugs to you, my lovely friend. Only 4 more weeks until my due date!

We had help just like you did, and I believe if God didn't want us to have babies then he would have not allowed the help to be a success. All kids are a gift from God.

He has given the medicine our world uses and what can be wrong with creating life with that medicine? <br /><br />Bless your heart, it sounds like you have been going through a lot with your family.
