How I came to terms with having a non-traditional family

I think at this point, you know, where we are today, is we’re not going to have a traditional family in which a husband and wife join together and a baby is created nine months later. Our focus is either to do some kind of a surrogacy option, or adoption, which all in all is not a horrible thing, it’s just a more complicated thing, and it’s how to manage your expectations…part of life is a journey but part of life is getting to the next level—getting through it. And where we are today is trying to find an alternate way to start a family. With that said, there are many people in our position. There are many people who are looking to adopt like us, who had similar reasons, similar experiences—if it’s not cancer, it’s infertility for any other possible reason, could just be natural infertility within the individual, could be male, could be female. But it’s not something that, if you’d asked me five years ago if this is where we’d be at, I don’t see it.
