OF COURSE we (and you) are grateful for ANY living child, whether they have XX or XY chromosomes. It's still okay to have feelings about it.

*We know that that during pregnancy you find out biological sex, not gender, and that any child's gender identity and expression could change. HOWEVER this is the term that most are familiar with and is likely to show up in search results, so we're going with it! "Sex disappointment" is another thing entirely lol.

Judith's living son turned 1, and it was a stark reminder that the childbearing years of her life have not gone the way she expected. It's been one thing after another, and sometimes on top of each other, for almost 5 years. A smorgasbord of suffering, if you will. But she's a survivor.
