[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Life. I was 35 when we got married, and we started trying right away. Sometimes things don't happen the way you think they should.

Thanks to the other PPs. I appreciate the support. I never feel like it's wrong to have only one, or that I somehow failed. We went to hell and back trying. The kid we have is definitely meant to be ours. Sometimes, I just wish I could give her a sibling, for her and for us.

These discussions happen every so often in my office and no one means any offense. I usually just stay quiet. I don't usually walk away feeling less than, but today was different.

OP, this is such a measured and wise response to the PP, who didn't really deserve an answer to the question of why you waited so long.  You're awesome![/quote]

NP here. I agree. OP, you sound like a smart, calm, loving mom who has a lot of integrity.

Your DD has got to feel so, so lucky to have you as a mom. Heck, I'm jealous I'm not as cool as you are (as evidenced by your response to the somewhat jerky PP). It's not too late to adopt another if you feel like your family is incomplete. But if you feel like it is, then it is! Life is never perfect, but it is always wonderful. Make it want you want and live passionately. I agree with you that moving to be closer to family might be a good middle ground, if that's doable.[/quote]
