[quote=SingleMama2B]I think (no flames here please, just my opinion), that some (not ALL) people, have visions of the "Perfect" child, etc., when NONE OF US are perfect!!!

I totally agree with this, I remember this conversation years ago, when DH's cousin was adopting from Kaz, her hubby said one night at dinner, it is hard because you always have envision of the perfect child, the perfect family, especially when it costs over 30k to get that family, you almost wish they would come with a perfect (nothing bad will ever happen to me) sticker on the forehead. While it sounded blunt at the time, he was very honest. We all want our children to be perfectly healthy, but we all need to realize life isn't pefect, bad things happen, health issues happen and we just have to deal with them the best we can as we go along--that is what being a parent is about.
