Thanks for the replies. I am going to call my MS doctor and see what she has to say about this.

I should have said in the beginning of my message that I have an MS doctor who is a 3 hour drive one way.
She wanted me to find someone closer who would partner with her in my care.

The is the first neuro I saw hoping he would be a right fit. He said he has never heard of my doctor. She actually works for the MS clinic here in our state and the clinic is fairly well known.

Maybe he is new to the area. I do have some other options here. What a waste of money today was except for he did confirm for me that my MS doctor going in the right direction.

I just do not appreciate being looked down on because of our family size. My husband and I have been married 26 years. We gave birth to 2 children. Adopted 5 little children who needed a home.

We have been criticized and questioned about WHY we would do this by other people. Honestly if a person can not understand opening your arms and home to a child who needs a home then I don't understand them.

There are so many children who need families and not enough families willing to take them.

I didn't know I had MS before we adopted our children. If I had we probably would not have taken on such a challenge. Four of our adopted children have Down syndrome.

I am grateful we have our family. The future is kind of scary but things will be ok.....ok enough venting.

Thanks for the support!
