My dh and I are not on the same page on this one. I am open to it, he is unsure. He feels as Kat-L does. I think if we got offered a foster placement, he would be okay with it. And by the time the child possibly became adoptable, I am sure he would be okay with that as well because by then he would be in love!

Unfortunately I have learned from issues faced with my son that we just never know what life will throw at us. His life expectancy is uncertain. And while that scared the pants off me at first and I wanted to run away, I realized even if we only have him for a few years, he has enriched our lives so much. We did not know at his birth that he had these issues. So, 2 years later when we found out, did we stop loving him? No.

There are no guarantees in life. I could walk outside and get run over my a car today. I would not be open to a condition that guarantees a VERY short life expectancy, but people can live with HIV for many, many years.
