My husband has MS, but has been asymptomatic since he was diagnosed in his early 20's or about 10 years. I called a few international agencies and they said it didn't matter. No one would work with us. It's pretty unbelievable to me that this is the case, but so be it.

If degree of the illness and prognosis are any factor, then his MDs will give him excellent scores on that. He has never had any physical disabilities and is on the most aggressive treatment available.

We have a biological child and were thinking about adopting an older child or toddler. This was pretty depressing news. I can't believe it. Pretty frustrating.

Please let me know if you are aware of any agencies or options that I might have. Emotionally, I can't deal with a foster parenting situation. I grew up with foster children and resented it my whole life. I don't want to have to take a child that was abused by their mother to see them every month. I just can't deal with that.

Thanks for any information. If we can't, I guess we'll go about it the old fashioned way.
