DYK Pete and I have talked about adopting too. But there's also a part of me that really wants to experience pregnancy and having a child that looks like Pete and me.

DYK but if we have any trouble conceiving, then we've decided that we'll adopt. Although, it's getting harder and harder to find babies to adopt with the abortion rates as high as they are.

DYK I agree that it takes special people to take in children. I'm always thankful for the parents that I have.

dyk my grandparents had sole legal custody of me from the time I was an infant...well, when my mom went into rehab and they tricked her into signing over her rights (thank god).


dyk but I lived with my mom's cousin and her husband pretty much right after they got married.

DYK as far as I know, I only have one birth certificate. But that's probably because my parents were there when I was born. Hmm, I should ask them if I have another though. I never even thought about it before.

dyk Aaron and I have talked about adopting *and* having one (or two) of our own.


dyk I just remember how difficult it was for me emotionally and that makes me nervous.


dyk but that could be partly due to my situation...trying to have a relationship with my mom that was blaming my parents for taking me from her.


dyk I'd venture to say that didn't help things.

DYK- I'm going to vent here about my verizion bill for internet and land line


DYK - Back in June/July we signed up for FIOS, for internet and phone


DYK- Bundled cost was $69.00, then add on the various fees/taxes to about $80.00 per month


DYK- Installation fees waived...


DYK- Our phone bill is never the same amount since then and today we get a call saying our bill is being adjusted and can either go up or down.


DYK- An automated call, but does not tell us why the bill is being adjusted


DYK- Michael is at home and gets in a huff...


DYK- So I call Verizon.


DYK- Adjusted so that our internet and landline are on the same billing cycle, and our bill went down (Thank God).


DYK- Why they weren't in the first place I have no idea


DYK - On my day off tomorrow, I have to go over the past phone bills with a fine tooth comb and make sure we weren't over charged...


DYK- And since I had it on an automated billing to our checking account, I never really checked the bills.

DYK your parents sound like amazing people.

DYK it's great that you've been able to maintain a relationship with your bio mom as well.

DYK you're absolutely right about the difficulties of adoption.
