Gee - When I went to bed last night, there were no new posts. Then, I turn on my computer this morning and Good God, whats going on? Kaye, I have a nine year old son, so I do not claim to have any idea of what it is like to have a daughter and to have to deal with this issue. HOWEVER, I will say this, after reading all the posts ( and taking quite a while as there are SO many) it is obvious that you have made up your mind. I am sure you love your daughter with your whole heart and soul and would only make the decision that you feel is the right one. Isn't that all that we want for our children, to do right,  not wrong? I think so - therefore I hope all works out for your daughter. I may have made the same decision or maybe not. All I know is that you are going to go through with it and I hope everything is successful. I will pray for you and your daughter and I hope years from now she will come to this MB and post, "Let me tell you all about the great decision my Mom made for me!". This is obviously a very touchy subject that I will stay out of from now on as it doesn't affect me and I know very little about it, BUT I did want you to know that there are probably many of us who haven't commented JUST because we didn't feel like we had anything to offer as it is not an issue for us, as we have boys. But PLEASE be assured that many of us wish you well & do offer support and yes, Godspeed! Take care and give that little girl a hug from ALL of us on the MB. Regardless of any comments that may have been taken negatively, I am POSITIVE that everyone is concerned about her and mean well and wish her the very best!  But nobody is as concerned as you  and being a Mom means having to make very difficult decisions sometimes. We all know that. If your sure that you've made the right decision, at this point, it is all that matters. Please let us know how it turns out. That would only be helpful in the long run. Take Care!                    Valerie
