Can I pay you in rubles, Mike? I read through the Russian thread and was just overwhelmed by the honesty of the posts. It's somehow reassuring to know that my worst fears aren't irrational. Does that make sense? Meanwhile, my homestudy visit is scheduled for TUESDAY!! I'm still trying to get my head around that. It did give me a moment of pause. But, even reading through everyone's lowest points made me realize again how much I want to be a mom. No, this isn't how I thought it would happen. But I'm so excited that the journey has begun. Kate

AAwwww, That's so great that you can see both positive and negative and not be *terrified* by us LOL I had hoped we would stand as an example to those who follow (as we certainly did NOT have one). It's good to hear that even our worst days don't scare people away from parenting. I know it nearly made me stop the whole process and simply have an only child.
I am someone who likes to hear the worst case scenario in everything, just to feel confident in my decision. Just being aware of the long hard days that are ahead, will definately help you along and make things easier as you have a road map of sorts now. AND, I think we are some of the extreme examples...where our issues intersected with our children's issues and just happened to be a BAD combination. I'm confident if I didn't have ADD, my stuggle to attach would have only lasted a month or two....heck, I was 2 yrs into my marriage before I finally felt connected to DH! It's a life pattern with me I suppose.
