Hello, ladies. I'm so glad to have found this group. I have a special
need to discuss with people here. Is there anyone involved in this
group who relinquished a child for adoption earlier in their life and
then, when menopause began to hit, went through a tremendous period
of deep, deep grief? Who, beyond this, never had other children?

This is my situation. In fact, my marriage broke up partly due to
this crisis. My ex-husband could not see me through it. He also
seriously misled me in talks we had about entering a fertility
program before it was too late or adopting a child. I mean, we had
been accepted by an agency. That's how far he took it before he
backed out and then bailed out of the marriage.

I really would like to communicate with anyone here who may have gone
through this grief, even if you do have other children.

Feel free to write. I look forward to hearing from you.

Margaret Mae Watzke
