Why drown?

The best part of parenting has nothing to do with the genepool.  In this case, you CAN have your cake and eat it too.

I'm single, and found myself craving parenthood, too.  So - I adopted a baby boy from Russia.  Ohhh, he's the love of my life.  It's the hardest thing I've ever done, and the best thing I've ever done, and I can't believe how happy I am.  Yes, I too was a career overachiever, but now it's just a job.  I can go back with gusto someday if I want to, but for now, I'm singing nursery rhymes and making snowmen.  And I can't believe that I'm actually enjoying it!

There are tens of thousands, or maybe even hundreds of thousands of wonderful kids wasting away in orphanages just waiting for a family.  When my little 3 year old gives me a hug and says "I wub woo", the genes don't matter.On When it comes to having kids, this global citizen can't bear it posted 3 years, 11 months ago 13 Responses
