I believe that the people who *want* to have children should have *healthy* children. I love my family, and I'm proud to be a part of the lives of the children in it. Yes, I am lucky, and I know it. My whole family has been blessed with healthy children, and we know we have been fortunate.
Consider that all of us know someone who has a child, or two, who had trouble entering the world. I also know more than one family who has spent heartbreaking years trying to have a child. We recently rooted on our friends - who have a brilliant not-so-baby boy - as they fought for the first breath of their new daughter. She is holding on so far...
So really, that's it. We all know how lucky we are, and we all know someone who hasn't been so lucky.
