[quote=Anonymous]My only child asked for siblings for a couple years but around the age six decided she definitely didn't want them. I occasionally think about trying for another but at this point they'd be nine years apart. I think it's normal to mourn the path not taken (or the path that fate prevented). It's okay to feel what you're feeling, those feelings are real. But try to get to the point, intellectually at least, where you make peace with it. I still struggle some days, so know you're not alone. And neither is your child. You can build a"family" other ways than blood.[/quote]
