Joni,
I just wanted to personally thank you for taking the time to have your 2 precious sons post on this forum - how incredibly kind of all of you. I read their messages on the other post & for some reason I am in tears over the honesty and simplicity of their message (perhaps I'm a tad emotional today!).
As my husband (diagnosed at birth) and I consider whether or not we will ever expand our family through adoption or IVF, it is a heartwrenching decision for numerous reasons. But when I read the words of your boys, it waters the seed of hope in my heart.... thank you. And please pass along my thanks to them.
God bless.

The posts are great, too, I agree.
I would love to hear the perspective a child who lost a parent with CF. Having a parent with CF who is 55 is the exception, not the rule.
I know the popular perspective on this site is "let anyone do whatever they want, as long as they feel good, no matter what the consequences."
But I'll continue to challenge the common notion that having a child when you have a chronic, progresive illness doesn't affect the child.
I know that doesn't make you feel good - but afterall, doing the right thing isn't always easy and doesn't always feel good, does it....

Amy...*sigh* Look, just for my 2 cents, I agree with your point of view completely. I would never compromise a child like that, either. But you're fighting a losing battle here, and all its going to cause is more tension and more flames in your direction. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for speaking your mind, but this has gone past debate and into the WWE (or whatever the hell they call the wrestling thing now).
You can challenge the idea all you want, but the reality is, CFers are going to keep breeding against the odds. The people against you will never agree with you, nor change their point of view. Why are you causing yourself the stress of an argument that falls on deaf ears?
