Thank you for your replies to my post. It is so comforting to know my hubby and I are not alone in our decision. I thank God every day that these two little ones who have been entrusted to us are as healthy as they are. I feel guilty that I will not be able to keep up with them as younger parents may, but I can certainly give them lots of love and attention and with the help of God, the right tools to grow to responsible caring adults.

It is going to be a great help to me in the future knowing there is a place I can turn to and someone who knows exactly what I am going through. I just hope you won't tire of me because there are so few friends left that I can truly turn to just to vent, or ask advise from or get a few words of encouragement.

I am grateful I found this site!
