  1. Hugs to Claudia, Martha, Stephanie and all who want to post but are unsure if it will come across the wrong way.

    A special needs child does range and the range is often unknown until time passes with the maturity of each child. Starting "out the gate" with the possible expectations of needs is a fear all parents experience and often bury hoping for the best. Most parents relying on the professionals, have an idea(?) but at the same time, we all know miracles happen...yet we also know miracles can later be special needs. In no way of the professionals expense, their hope too is for the best. Whether it is of our beings, doings, or adoption we give birth in thought ahead of the arrival of each child. Let your hearts be prepared in the journey ahead...for each is a child of God carefully placed in hands that he feels secure in care. Although we raise our fist in anger, raise a tear stained face and ask, Why God? Rely on him when you are at your weakest, he will not forsake you. He will give you the eyes to recognize the blessing before you, in your own time.

    Rejoice! Love, Nita

  2. Thank You Stork Central for that wonderful story. It's such a testimony for this family to walk in the exact shoes as before. Especially, when the first path ended painfully shortly after its beginning. I refer to this as honoring the cathedral within. The cathedral is the place that the experiences of life has built for you. It can be as beautiful or sorry as you make it.

  3. Has anyone heard of or read about the new "moral dilemma" on the horizon in reproductive science? The term being used is "Designer Babies." That's right, the ability to manipulate DNA to accentuate certain desirable traits (intelligence, physical attributes, male vs female, etc.)

    Not content to simply let "nature take its course," couples WILL have the ability in the future to "pick and choose" those traits they consider as desirable.

    Does anyone else feel a sense of concern about all of this??? And what of the "designed" children who fail to "measure up" to their parents' expectations????????

    Just as the moral ramifications of birth control was debated in the 60's and 70's, and IVF in the 80's and 90's, the new ethical debate may very well be "Designer Babies."

    Martha,

    You too saw the article headlining "Designer Babies". Read it last week, and have to give the way I feel about it to God. I can let things like this consume me.

    On yesterday, I threw the paper out because I realized how looking at that cover picture, perfect baby???? was disturbing me further. And when I mean OUT!! : I walked it to the street myself not to miss trash pick-up. The fact that this is being compared to the cost of IVF and adoption at a reasonable rate? Outrageous!

    Seeing the photo of the woman who had this brain child, reading her view and vision as a business opportunity instead of a moral dilemma is a responsiblity I would not want on my plate. The demand for this shocks me to the core. A Waiting LIST? for perfection. The sense of concern that these designer babies won't measure up sends a fear that has no place to land. I read article and am saddened because of my personal beliefs.

    I view this as blantant disrespect to the greatest miracle GOD ever created.

    What happens to the opps? Or on no, wrong color? Sadly, Success will be measure in this too. The numerous thesis' composed on the first test models, the five year study, etc... perhaps the return of the imperfect models to the scientist who created them. (Seems I saw a movie like that a time ago.)

    Moral dilemma's, ethical debates, the demand to perform and succeed, the almighty dollar. The souls, I'll stop there, for now.

    The individuals that pursue these avenues are questionable at best. It is best they walk this journey and leave the joy and blessing of adoption to us!

    It's off my chest for now, with 2 cents and some change!

    Have A Blessed Day! : )

  5. What an awesome place!

    My pookie picked up one of her baby dolls and put it up on her tiny shoulder with a pat pat pat and ummmah kiss and rocked her. My heart leapt as my prayer has been, Lord let me be the Mother that you want me to be to fulfill Camille's needs. To teach her for life ahead and prepare for life beyond my reach. That she have the ability to reach out to others and touch their lives in a very special way.

    My prayers continue yet for her age, I think she's picking up on it.

    To have children of credibility is to be a credibile person.

    God Bless All the Forementioned.

    Thanks for sharing your blessings.
