Even before this happy event occurred, Betty and I had talked about the prospect of having kids. We realized early on that because of several medical factors, Betty and I would not likely have our own biological offspring without taking on a fairly serious amount of medical risk. We knew that we were marrying each other for each other, not necessarily for kids, and so were happy to move forward nonetheless. We heeded the advice of our doctors and moved on. We had, for the most part, abandoned the hope of having biological children.
And so it was for almost a decade.
