Hello Greta,
I'm so terribly sorry to hear what one bad apple can say to ruin your wonderful hopes and thoughts of adopting from overseas. I haven't read what anyone else wrote but, all I have to say is this person is totally ignorant about MS, so why even listen to what they have to say? It sounds like they have had a bad experience and are projecting it onto anyone else who potentially will be an adoptive and good parent to a child from another country.

PLEASE don't feel alone, or even listen to such rubbish! As you may know this year my husband and I are determined to start the quest to find a baby and start our own family. I've heard so many hurtful things about why I shouldn't be a mother because of this disease that I think I've started turning male because I've deveopled quite a sense of "selective hearing". You know what a terrific Mum you will make. Nobody but you and your husband know that, so don't waste anymore time or tears thinking about other's stupidity. This person is just an angry bitter vetch who doesn't deserve your time and thought.

Good luck to you on your journey! I'd love to talk to you someday about what you've done so far in your quest to adopt from overseas. We are just beginning the journey, and it's a daunting one at that. But, I don't want this to be a negative experience for us. For someday when we are a family, I want to be able to tell my child about his or her wonderful journey into our family, and I hope you will be able to do the same thing very soon as well!

Thinking of you always,
Chris
