Cry me a river, Susan Robinson. I had no sympathy for her tale of self-pity over not being able to have children. For those of us who haven't found a wonderful life partner to marry like she has, we have the same issues of being out of place with family and friends and we go through it alone. She should thank her lucky stars that she has a friend and lover to lean on. Adopting may not be her first choice, but it's a more reasonable choice when you have a partner to raise a child with and you can also give a loving home to a child who needs it. When you are single, these options are even more limited.
