NP.  If you chose not to have kids, then why is Mother's Day sad for you?[/quote]

Because you have infertility, none of the treatments worked, and now you have no money left to adopt. That's how I "chose" not to have kids. IVF doesn't work for everyone, adoption doesn't work for everyone.

I keep a low profile on mother's day, but do wish a happy mother's day to others. One of the posters in my infertility group said she went to church and was given a rose for mother's day, and then had it snatched back by the ushers because she didn't have children, just weeks after she had a miscarriage.

I miss the days of my childhood, when we were all given flowers at church with different colors, depending on whether our own mothers were alive or dead. Now it seems to have become less of a day to honor our own mothers, and more of a day to honor mothers who currently have children. [/quote]
