I agree that it probably isn't a bigger love than other parents feels for their kids but I think we're more appreciative at the very least. I LOVED LOVED LOVED this.

Thu, 25 Mar 2010 09:13:26 +0000 http://www.creatingafamily.org/blog/?p=384#comment-2729 My beautiful brillant wonderful son was born via surrogate and donor egg after a 7 year battle with IF. I loved that you used the word "cherished". I can't imagine a child being more cherished than he is. I continue to listen to your shows on both IF and adoption. I know we'd like another and I have no idea how he or she will come into our lives, but he or she will also be cherished. P.S. Please keep doing some general parenting type shows.

I think that sometimes former IF patients that finally have this long awaited child have a hard time letting themselves feel the normal frustrations of parenting. It's almost like they feel that they can't complain. Parenting is hard at times and kids, all kids, can get on our nerves. Just because they are cherished doesn't mean that they can't drive us to our wits ends. Catrisha, you raise an interesting point.

I feel as though my child is a cherished child since it took us almost 6yrs to conceive him after enduring multiple treatments and giving up, but there are times that I'm at my wits end and lose my cool. It comes with parenting and it's only natural. I also know that IF puts alot of strain and struggle on your marriage before hand, and thus once you become a parent sometimes that still shows through at times even when you try to be on the same page for things. I think every circumstance and situation is different, but I'm glad that you wrote this to bring it to light of other's eyes that don't feel this way. Maybe it will bring meaning to them for their child/ren. ICLW #33 I mostly agree with this post.

I am so sorry your adoptive parents were abusive. That is wrong. I know there are bad parents in all ways they became parents. (not sure that makes sense, but I hope you get what I mean) I would hope that the more time and effort one puts into becoming a parent it would make them a better parent, but that's not always the case. Just like not all people who get pregnant easily are as good of parents as those who spent more time and money. Some are and some aren't. ICLW #28 First of all, let me say that I am sorry Christina.
