NikB, My W and I adopted, we had two boys of our own and we went to Russia to get a little girl back in '99. I was very reluctant at first to adopt, so you might want to revisite the issue of kids in general. I am in the alt univ if you have questions. I was stationed at Mather AFB back in '87-88, plus my FIL still lives in Rancho Cordova.
Cheers

Retain faith that you will prevail in the end, regardless of the difficulties and at the same time confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be.
