[quote=Anonymous]I get it that if you are in the middle of treatment, this probably seems trite.  But I think it's a good window on what it feels like to look back on the process.

I am someone who went through hell to get my two kids as it sounds like this guy did with his wife.  The phrase "long, gray years" are a good description.  And he's right, you get to the end and you lose some perspective.  Your kids are annoying and overwhelming like anyone else's kids.  And you move on.  But it's always a part of who you are and you are profoundly grateful in a way that people who had kids easily probably never really feel.

In some way, I would think this would give people hope.  Whatever your outcome is, you too will lose perspective on some level when you get to the end of your journey.  And yes, I understand that for some people that journey is longer and for some people the end isn't two kids or even one kid.  But I do remember when I was in the thick of things, I hoped and prayed for some peace and that some day it wouldn't be so all-consuming and I wasn't sure it was possible.  But it is.

Good luck to all.
