The Pitter Patter of Little Feet

For those of you with Turner Syndrome, not being able to have kids can be the hardest thing to come to terms with when you first get diagnosed with Turners.
      Every little girl wants to be a mother and when you are told that that isn't an option for you, that can be harder to deal with than any other aspect of Turners ( I know that was even harder for me than getting used to giving myself a shot every night-and I'm terrified of needles!). I broke down and cried when my mom told me that because of Turners I wouldn't be able to have kids.
      And while that's a very tough thing to come to terms with, you can come to terms with it. I know that at this point of my life, I have come to terms with it. There is more than one way to become a mother. There are things like adoption (which is always a good thing because there are so many kids who need good homes), surrogacy, and (if it's possible for you), there is also In-Vitro Fertilization. I know that you may be worried that if you do surrogacy or adoption, the child may not feel like it's your child because you didn't have it grow inside of your body for 9 months, and I don't know this from experience, but I imagine that your maternal instincts will kick in and you will be filled for love for that child the first time you hold it in your arms and the thought won't even cross your mind that you're not related by blood to that child.
   So, don't despair if you find out that you can't have kids, there are other options to become a mother, and in my opinion, none of the other methods of becoming a mother are bad.
