		<description>John; I&#039;ll let that comment go considering that you&#039;ve never carried a child to term.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Edited to Add: Of course, I should have, looking at it now, attacked you directly and not either men in general or women who haven’t carried a child. Because, you see, my Husband understands the bond that I had with all of my children prior to their arrival. In fact, my Husband was bonded with all of those children prior to their arrivals as well. My Husband is quite certainly not the only man on the Earth capable of understanding and appreciating that early bonding process. Furthermore, I know many a woman who hasn’t been pregnant, either by choice or by chance, that understands the maternal bond of pregnancy. Beyond understanding it, those individuals are able to appreciate and celebrate that bond for what it is: special and beautiful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And so, don’t take what I’m saying to that individual out of context. That comment wasn&#039;t meant for the general public that hasn&#039;t been pregnant. It was solely meant for you, your blatant attack of birth parents and open adoption and your general negativity that you spew on this blog with regularity. As always, move it along.</description>

		<description>&quot;The court finds there is significant emotional attachment between the child and the birth parent.&quot;  Wouldn&#039;t that clause prevent agreements in infant adoption?  It almost sounds like they are intending to allow agreements for every type of adoption except infant adoptions.  John</description>
