Hi. Tally. I joined just to respond to your post. I have 3 kids all girls and wanted a fourth child. I wanted a boy and a child became available in the foster care system that was 6 weeks old. I thought "perfect." I even had them drop the baby off so I could spend some time with him. By the end of the day I couldn't wait for them to come pick him up. What it is Tally is what I was going to give up by adopting. There is a different feeling you have when you carry your baby for 9 months. In the 4th mth you feel it move for the 1st time and feel it kick and roll around and even feel it when theres hiccups! When they place that baby in your arms theres a love that cannot be explained and when you were a little girl you didnt say "I can't wait to adopt." When that child looks like you, acts like you, its indescribable! My best friend never had kids but adopted 6. The love you feel is different, not in a bad way but different. People that adopt that can't have kids their love is true but different. When you adopt, those are the things you give up.
