I'm going to apologize if this will offend anyone, but it's been bothering me and on my mind lately...
I read an article about this couple in Australia, belive it was in Victoria, that recently aborted twin boys because they wanted a girl. It broke my heart into pieces!
While I do deeply desire a daughter, I am so saddened to read about unwanted little boys :(
It really deeply hurts me to think of any child being aborted because of gender (whether it be boy or girl), but the boy stories really hit me in the gut, probably because of my own mixed feelings when I found out my DS2 was a boy and not the girl I dreamed about. I see him now and I am so happy he's here and that we had him, though I still long for a daughter...
Anyway, I have resolved myself to stop reading extremely negative boy posts. I understand and totally feel compassionate towards the ladies that are having a boy and are sad but are determined to get through GD and love their bundles of blue.
GD is a monster. I totally understand that. What I don't understand is aborting only for the sake of gender.
Anyway, I realize this post may be controverisal, but I wanted to air my feelings somewhere.
Sorry for the rant.
