3. Please don't tell me what a great thing I've done. Yes, I did decide to adopt in part to parent a child who might otherwise not have had any, but no, it is not ultimately an altruistic thing I did. I kept this child for MYSELF, so that I could parent again, which was a very selfish act.[/quote]

I hear that all the time. But my answer is always the same. I have not done such a "great thing." Please don't put me on a pedastal. I adopted for no other reason than to parent again. I love being a mom and I WANTED a second child.

Also, please don't tell me how lucky my daughter is to have us. WE are the lucky ones! WE have been blessed with two miracle children!
