[quote=Anonymous]DE Mom here First look into epigenetics. You do have influence over how genes are expressed. Second, allow yourself to grieve. It is sad that you'll never see your smile or eyes in your child. It is a loss. But is seeing those qualities and traits more important than having a child? Third, do some thought experiments. Imagine your life without another child. Then imagine your life with a geneticly related child who looks and acts nothing like you. Then imagine your life with a DE child. As someone who dealt with the grief of losing a genetic connection I can honestly say it has no bearing on my day to day life. I love DS with all my heart and soul. I'm so bonded to him and rarely think about genetics. But it is a process to get to that point. [/quote]
