I am going to speak up on infertility. issues.

Afford ing to have a baby!

I know about being adopted.

I also know the pain that infertility brings couples.

One word that is missing in talking about for adoption and being a parent and in society is the need to have!


COMPASSION


Understanding


Judgemental comments hurt!


When it comes to families each individual case is unique.


There's not a right or wrong way in adoption.


Being A Single mother or father is not easy.


Bravo for the single parents who choose to keep their babies!

Please

Keep all your babies.

I don't understand how you can keep one child but you can't keep the other one as a single mother.

It's not fair to the child. It makes a child feel that there's something wrong with them.

I know life isn't fair!

I felt that way when my mother chose to keep my older brother and not me. It takes a while to get over that. I'm not sure whether you ever do or not. I'm speaking from experience


Parents who are older or have infertility issues. Why not!


My parents were older and they were having infertility issues.


I'm blessed to have had parents who were able to look after me when my parents who were young failed to give me a home with them.


I know both pains.

the pain of being adopted

pain of infertility.


Until you've walked in both these issues I think you need to remember compassion.

We don't need judgment. We need compassion and understanding.


I had people say to me how come you have a dog and not a child. I also have heard you should be having kids by now. And the list goes on.


I find some of these comments very cold and there isn't any empathy towards first Mother's older , and parents with infertility issues.


Education on adoption issues has helped to aid the adoptees and family.


I also think that there is not a right way or a wrong way to parent children.


When a person points the finger at family remember there are three fingers pointing back at you.


Put yourself in another person's shoes walk a mile in their shoes before you point the finger.


Until next time.
