Reply #176: We're Past That Point Age Wise, Now [View All]

[ProfessorGAC]

We're too old for that now. We just dote on our nieces. Remember that whole Baby Richard thing happened back 15 years ago, when we were in our mid-30's.

We did look into foreign adoption back then too, but two of the agencies REQUIRED one of us to be a stay at home parent. That seemed to patently unfair that we told them to jump over a cliff. My wife's a teacher! She would be home all summer, and when the child was school age, would be home whenever the child wasn't in school. Seemed a perfect situation to us. But, they were inflexible. So, we walked away from that avenue.

But, that was then. This is now. People more worried about their precious systems and principles than about the results of two productive, educated and caring people raising a child to full adulthood did some damage to a child who would have benefitted. I hope they're happy.
