Anonymous commenters - please add a signature (doesn't have to be your real name) on each post of yours. Anne O'Namus, Norm D. Ploom, Angry from Kent, Demosthenes, or even your real initials, it doesn't matter.
Commenters are expected to be polite to each other, but the same standard doesn't apply to comments regarding me.
Australian commenters are very very strongly advised to publish anonymously. Sydney alone has more defamation actions than the entire USA and UK. Nearly double that of the UK in fact.
As Google does not reliably inform me that a comment has been posted, and I have no control over first publication, I assert that all comments are innocently disseminated under the NSW DEFAMATION ACT 2005 - SECT 32 and similar acts.
How lovely Zoe. So glad you found a way to do it and had a child. Those of us who were born sterile as a result of these medical conditions and never found a way to have children have holes in our hearts that may never be filled.
ReplyDeleteI know.
ReplyDeleteI was told very early on that my odds of becoming a parent were negligible.
I lived with that for 20 years, never quite totally giving up hope, yet resigned to the reality that I'd never have children.
But sometimes Reality takes a holiday.
Thanks so much, and I hope that you're in a situation where adoption is a possibility. A friend of mine is trying to get her health in good enough shape for a transplant, and then possibly adoption. She's excluded on health grounds now, but would make a wonderful Mum.
Every time I think of how difficult it is for me, and in truth, it's not easy, I count my blessings, and realise just how wonderfully lucky I've been. It gives me incentive to help others, as I can, and simple justice requires it.
