These posts have been so heartfelt-their transparency has both warmed and broken my heart. Kudos to parents who parent difficult children whether they are born to them or adopted. Warm hugs to those of you who did not receive adequate parenting

. Love to all who wish for children but deal with infertility. Thanks to all who love your children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, students. . . and those who chose to do other things that enrich our society and lives in other ways. Each one is precious.
