[quote=Anonymous]When I was in medical school, one of my classmates got pregnant by another classmate. She had the baby, and was going through the adoption process during the pregnancy. The agency lined up many families who were eager. She was white and blond, and since both parents were medical students, the agency said the baby would be sought after "regardless of gender". The agency even made sure that the families would be high income to entice my friend. One family offered to pay all of her expenses including medical school tuition! Illegal. But that was never done. When my friend decided to keep her son, the man at the agency slammed the phone down. I was stunned, but my friend was so distracted with her son that she quickly got that out of her mind.
Fast forward over 25+ years, her son had issues like emotional problems (chronic grump), learning problems, and finally childhood cancer. He survived. One time she said laughing, that those families who wanted her son would have been disappointed. She said that she had no regrets since the illnesses required such a total commitment. She would not have trusted anyone else with her so called "packet of trouble". [/quote]
