Hi ladies, I have been very hesitant to reply to this for fear that if I express my feeling they might be offensive to someone or that I might get them shoved right back in my face.... But, here goes,,, Diane, I can truly understand where you are coming from. We don't have and children of our own and it is not by choice. Heavenly Father BLESSED me with that incapability! My husband and I adopted a 15 yr old son in 1992. We love him very much, and would give anything to have him back. We struggled with him for almost 2 1/2 yrs. His bio-mom would leave him alone. She did not and still does not want him, but she does not want anyone else to have him. To make a very long story short, he finally ran away and now lives with her. We still love him and wish that he were a part of our lives, but that is not part of HF plan at this time. We can only hope that he will one day return to the gospel of Jesus Christ and live it. I don't really know that I am HAPPIER with or without children, I only know that we are happy if we choose to be. Thanks for letting me be a part of this wonderful group! Patty
