It was an interesting chapter. The author goes into the types of adoption without denigrating one over the other. I think that is good. I have had issues, but those form our way of thinking about adoption. I can say been there done that. All children need a loving home. She talked a lot about In vitro Fertilization and the end had a bunch of remarks from people she interviewed. I can safely say that I skimmed through those. I feel no connection to those people. Even if we had wanted to go that route, we do not have the money to waste on a treatment that is not guaranteed to work. I've heard of people the keep trying after the first time has failed. It was never a concern with us. She does talk about reluctance of one partner, but I think we were both on the same page. Just a little nervous at first. I was nervous about going to a country I have never been to and being handed a baby who would depend on us for her needs.
Now I am a pro at this. Well, sort of. This time it will be a blind baby. I'm guessing she is going to be scared until she gets used to our voices. There may be a lot of crying in the beginning.
