Desperate Housewives
Am I the only one in tears last night at the end of Desperate Housewives?
My emotions are just not cut out to have a child in my home for a period of time with the possibility of someone changing their mind.
This was not the only reason we chose international adoption, but it was a pretty big contributing factor. I know that’s not very popular with some of the adult adoptees, but it’s the truth. I wouldn’t be able to fully engage emotionally until I knew for a fact that no one was coming to get the child, and that wouldn’t be fair to the child. So, that way wasn’t for us.
I have to wonder where the writers are going to go next with this storyline. Is the stripper going to change her mind? Will Gabrielle and Carlos find another birthmom and start over? I hope not, that lawyer gives me the creeps. Will they look into international adoption? Will Gabrielle realize that children can’t be bought?

It was SOOOOO hard for us to watch that. We weren’t prepared for it. My husband was visibly shaken as it’s the #1 reason why we’ve gone international. All he could say was “At least that’s one heartache we won’t have to face in our lifetime”. I agreed, we’d had enough heartache already.
