Guest guest Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 Hi everybody!!! The inheritance of my CMT is a very dificult issue for me. Really I don´t want to pass it to nobody because for me it has been very very dificult. But it isn´t synonimus that I don´t want to be mother. My boyfriend, who has a genetic illness too, and I decided that when we finish our master we are going to adopt a baby. I think that want to have a son with somebody is a very big prove of love. Conclussion: CMT is neither a barrier for love nor for the motherhood. Kisses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Hi ! I applaude your efforts and the conclusion to adopt is one that always excites me. Please, however, keep this in mind.... I don't have CMT, I had issues staying pregnant, I always miscarried at 3-4 weeks...I've had 4 miscarriages...my husband and I decided to adopt and we have now 2 beautiful boys! It took us 5 years for our first child to arrive and another 3 1/2 years for our second. My oldest son was diagnosed with CMT at the age of 9. (It has never been in either of his birthparents family's before) So, what I am saying to you is - you do what is right for you and for your health. The decision to give birth or adopt is no guarantee for having a child that doesn't have CMT. What is meant to be, is meant to be. I adore both of my children and can't imagine loving them more than I already do. You also need to remember that you will both have to fill out many many forms that will question your health. I don't know how the adoption agencies and attorney's view CMT or other genetic illnesses, but it is something to consider when pursuing adoption. Many birthparents are involved in selecting the adoptive parents of their children...so there is much to consider. Adoption has made our lives so full...so happy...and I believe that both of our boys are a gift from Above. Please keep us posted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 , You are right. It should not be a barrier. I have CMT & my feet arent so good but I also have a beautiful, wonderful, intelligent son who does not seem to have any problems with his feet so you should do what you want. Ij ust have one though and won't have any more. I took one chance and it came out good I don't want to push it, in your country that might be said as I don't want to take more than my share of chances. But, at least take one chance. If that chance is adoption for you then congrats! Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
