[quote=Anonymous]I was at a convention lunch today and having a wonderful conversation with another conventioner. I am expecting and so the topic of children arose. He had that "I love kids" smile, even when I noted my son is spirited, so I asked if he had any of his own. He said that he had always wanted them, but he and his wife couldn't, they were trying to adopt when she passed away 10 years ago. He said sometihing about wanting what we can't have and I said about how we take for granted what we do have, so it wan't terribly awkward. He had mentioned getting married in October earlier in the conversation, so I then just started asking about the wedding plans. Is there something tactful to say that doesn't sound mournful to someone past the age of possible conception who always wanted children but couldn't? [/quote]
