However for our adoption, when we got to be more selective about what special needs we could handle, we took that opportunity. Yes, we realized that if we had had a child with special needs via birth, we would have dealt with it. But given the choice, there are some needs that we knew we weren't well equipped to handle.

We opted out of the testing during both my pregnancies. It wouldn't have made a difference because I wouldn't have ended the pregnancy and it just seemed like a lot of extra worry and stress for something that would still pretty much be an unknown until birth. I get that some people want to know everything they can, want all the tests, etc. But, that's not me. Amen. We opted out of the testing during both my pregnancies.

True, sometimes I want to scream at the top of my lungs when she frustrates the Hell out of me, but that's all part of the adventure. I hope from this experience I'm becoming a better human being. We'll see. Totally agree and it’s been a great eye-opener. True, sometimes I want to scream at the top of my lungs when she frustrates the Hell out of me, but that’s all part of the adventure.

Your description of pulling out your carpets and the condition of your body after brought back the memories of us doing the same thing last year when we ripped out all our carpet and had our hardwood floors refinished. If I never see a carpet staple again it will be too soon. I can’t wait to see pics!

P.S. Stop writing in poems or haiku or whatever it is that is compelling you to write a different thought and sentence on every single line (annoying isn't it?) Hey batshit-crazy-lady,

Perhaps because of my disabled brother, who died before I was born so I couldn't live with him but only with his memory? I don't know, but I appreciate your kids. Really.

Jesus is my saviour, but I am not in the least like him. Instead of asking him for guidance I acted like Peter when he boasted to be able to follow his master into death. I was totally in the wrong and have heard the cock crow. Thanks for holding the mirror out to me. I am grieved. And I fully regret. I am not worth it to be friends with you. @nic @mybottlesup,
