Wow, some very good thoughts from all of you..this is exactly the reason I'm soliciting opinions because alot of people can think of things you never thought of yourself.
My husband was the first one to come up with the idea, believe it or not! So he's on board. We've talked about it alot. We have not discussed it with the couple yet at all. I don't even know if they would be open to it. I wanted to research all I could before (and IF) I even broach the subject. I, too, am worried about bonding. I had three pregnancies....I knew those babies intimately before they were born..their personalities, their patterns. One thing that is positive in my favor is that I have my family. I have three teenagers...I don't want to raise any more children. And, as my husband pointed out jokingly, "hey, if you start thinking a baby would be nice to have around, just remember they become teenagers REAL QUICK!" I am in great health. I have never smoked, rarely drink and am athletic and perfect weight. I would agree that counseling would be a must to make sure this is really something we could do. I am going to continue to research it....It is a major, major comitment.
