Peg,

You are so brave for posting this. My heart goes out to you. But...40 is NOT too old. One of my closest friends had an adorable little guy at 45. Yes, there are risks but still.

And adoption can be wonderful. Our SPT here adopted twin boys who were drug exposed. They were put immediately into fostercare so she got to meet them and see them until she took them home at 6 months of age. Now they are three and doing wonderful. She, btw, just had a baby girl after trying for 8 years and giving up. She thought she had the flu for 2 months...lol.

My brother and his wife (she's a pediatrician) also started trying "late" because she was in med school. They ended up doing IVF and had a wonderful little guy when she was 39. Then poof! along came another when they weren't looking. Amazing how that happens.

Children are a blessing and a curse. I hope you get your prayers answered soon. Someone said already it is a roller coaster ride. We'll help you hang on! Please call out for help as needed.
