before we adopted our youngest daughter my wife and I tried IVF....It failed....and I regret having gone through it....it still disturbs me knowing what I voluntarily allowed to happen....in hopes of having our "own" child...

I wholeheartedly recommend adoption....not just because of the blessings our daughter has brought our lives....but also to find peace in the decision....

I also recommend not putting off having children "until you are ready"....we waited and were very lucky with our first....

Thank God for your eyes being open. God bless you for your selfless act of adoption. God smiled upon your family. Many do not realize that adoption IS Gods way of providing a child when one is prayed for in many instances. A child is a child. It matters not who made the clay, it is who shapes it.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for stepping up to the plate and knowing the difference between being a parent and father or mother only.
