Life isn't perfect, but that doesn't mean it's not worth living for. Good or bad,
I'm very grateful that my parents gave me the opportunity to experince it for myself.
What else would we have, if we didn't have this?

The thought of adoption has crossed my mind on a number of occasions. I don't find its necessary to bring my own flesh and blood into this world, when there are some many other children who need a better life right now.

I think it all boils down to the fear of being alone some day, with nothing to show for it.

Sorry for hijacking this thread.

Well, think of it this way, then. No life is perfect. Even for a parent. Maybe especially for a parent.
