Don't worry about anything that you s...Hi Jen,<br /><br />Don't worry about anything that you said - when I reflect on my feelings about parenthood and course-correcting my life, I do get emotional. I also wonder what it would be like to have a child that is (physically) a part of my husband and I, and I feel a sadness that that hasn't happened for us. But I feel that what I am missing is the presence of a child - not necessarily the absence of a pregnancy. It seems sometimes like it took me so long to get here (this point in my life), and it took so much work - but the truth is that I want to change course. I really thought I would have had a child at this age, and be living for something more meaningful. For family, art and music and contributing to my community.<br /><br />Over the last six months or so I have put away some fears and made steps to make my life what I want it to be. I'm still working on that. :-) But talking about that journey and how adoption may fit was/will be truly helpful. I really appreciate your openness on the subject and would love to speak further about your experience.<br /><br />Take care,<br />-LLisa Kretchmanhttp://blog.lisakretchman.comnoreply@blogger.com
