For instance you might have a very mild case of CF, with great PFTS-now, but what about 5 or 6 years down the road. CF can creep up in a moments notice if you neglect your care and treatment regimes. My point is that it's a slippery slope; and one you might not want to venture on if you have an unremitting illness.</end quote></div>

I completely agree...it would be even more selfish of me to fulfull my own desires to have a child...and then come to find that THEY have CF...and possibly not be around when they need a mother most.
Troy's never been tested to see if he's a carrier, but if he was, it would SEAL the deal that we would not attempt to have children. We've already made the decision not to regardless.

Thank you, Everyone, for all your thoughts on the issue. I found this thread to be very interesting and educational.

As many of you know, I have been trying to conceive for close to 3 years now with NO LUCK AT ALL. At the end of the year, Jake and I will be either starting the adoption process or 'closing the door' forever.

I'm really thankful for all your honest respones and that this thread has remained 'in good faith'. I have looked forward to watching it progress because it really is helping me prepare for that crossroad.

THANK YOU!!!
