Dh used to respond with "Sure, if you consider years of expensive fertility treatments, a miscarriage, and a failed placement where we actually had to give a baby back the easy way out, then I guess we did!".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19397583.post-42192918903825681972010-10-05T07:21:02.713+02:002010-10-05T07:21:02.713+02:00I've read the "Single Dad Laughing" ...I've read the "Single Dad Laughing" blog too. I've actually seen this guy and his kid come in multiple times to the store where I currently work. He lives in the next town over. His kid is super cute. <br /><br />P.S., I like your blog :)Jessa Young Musichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14623861801401776887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19397583.post-10147332795286014862010-09-20T17:14:56.982+02:002010-09-20T17:14:56.982+02:00I really liked reading this, and at the same time,...I really liked reading this, and at the same time, it also made me mad and defensive. I can't believe how insensitive some people are--to approach a stranger and ask such rude questions is beyond me. Kids are expensive--but nobody has ever approached me to ask how much mine have cost. The twins were the most costly, with a $250,000 bill after they were born. Why do adopted children get placed in such a different category? How could someone ever put a price tag on a child? Why does that even matter? What gives someone the right to even know such things? I loved reading this man's perspective.
