I am sure there are plenty of infertile couples where they are who'd be happy to adopt their "extra" baby. Everyone knows that there is a risk of multiple birth with IVF. They are just greedy.<BR/>10 years down the line "mommy didn't want you, she only wanted me.

I also believe that matching the school to your child is absolutely important, but I also think that getting the match correct is also very difficult to do.<BR/>Hopefully, by the time our son reaches schooling age, we have understood his character pretty well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8511915656857366006.post-9912113815072663692007-09-22T00:18:00.000+02:002007-09-22T00:18:00.000+02:00I was really annoyed by this story when it broke, ...I was really annoyed by this story when it broke, I also think it should be thrown out of court.<BR/><BR/>The cost of education question is an interesting one though. I am always amazed when I read articles on how much it supposedly costs to raise and educate a child. They are usually so over the top! No wonder the birth rate is declining.<BR/><BR/>My two kids both went to catholic primary schools and then one went to a private school (yep, expensive!) and the other to a public high school (fees optional). <BR/><BR/>It was a case of two very different children. One would not have survived the public system at all. Too sensitive, shy and easily targeted by bullies.<BR/><BR/>The other would have had thier individuality, creativity and outspokeness crushed in the private system. They thrived in the public school and the mix of people.<BR/><BR/>In regional areas there are not as many choices but I do think getting a good match between child and school can make a big difference.<BR/><BR/>Affordability? well if came down to costs alone having kids wouldn't be an option, but I wouldn't give them up for any amount of money. They are Priceless!Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08524541468790905722noreply@blogger.com
