This is a major decision, perhaps the largest you will ever make. Having a child is an open ended commitment and certainly not to be undertaken lightly.<BR/>I only wish the majority of heterosexual parents gave child bearing and rearing the degree of forethought that you are displaying.<BR/>I wish you every success with your search and hope the two of you will enjoy many years of successful parenting and family life.<BR/><BR/>nicholas2001@btinternet.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8968125423113600279.post-79984478025147141772007-07-24T13:02:00.000+01:002007-07-24T13:02:00.000+01:00For heaven's sake anonymous, the muffin comment wa...For heaven's sake anonymous, the muffin comment was a light hearted remark that I made to release some tension after an unpleasant experience.<BR/><BR/>Plus, I'm sure we would have got over the baldness issue if Andy didn't have diabetes.<BR/><BR/>Mind you, teenage hair loss is something that could lead a child to be bullied in the same way that people are assuming a child with gay parents might be - make your mind up, should people be aiming for "perfect" children or not?<BR/><BR/>Mary J, it was indeed a typo, thanks.Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18120423556766605243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8968125423113600279.post-72269569492604688452007-07-24T10:33:00.000+01:002007-07-24T10:33:00.000+01:00If you're going to point out other people's gramma...If you're going to point out other people's grammatical/spelling errors or what, in this case, is more likely to be a typo, at least make sure you get it right yourself.

A nice compement to your shallow male pattern baldness comment. You, too may come across well in email but you are beginning to display more than you perhaps intended.<BR/><BR/>"Uneated" ? Hope your spouse is the one teaching the kid grammar. LOL!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
