[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DE Mom here [b]First look into epigenetics. You do have influence over how genes are expressed. [/b] 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] please don't put too much into this; it's been great over-hyped.[/quote]
