J said...: Thanks Teri for posting this link. I like the point about CF people not requiring "tolerance" because we're not abnormal or less than those who have kids.

I just want to say thanks also for having this blog. It's often quite difficult being CF in a world where children are everywhere and motherhood is valued often more than womanhood. The support here helps me feel better and secure in my decision because I'm not the only who knows that children are not the right choice for me.; June 06, 2007 1:31 PM
