Yes I'd have more sympathy for her if she had started to think of having a child when she was young enough to possibly conceive naturally, then finding she couldn't perhaps she may have sought help.

Maybe these days there are ways to help a person carry a child through the full term of the pregnancy. I've heard of women being kept in hospital and monitored throughout. That would be exhausting/wearying but probably worth it if the result was a success.

It sounds like you have a very well balanced family KiTChener, that many people would be proud of. To you and your wife your daughters are surely every bit your daughters and have made you proud grandparents.

I would normally never criticise anyone's family situation as we never know the reasons behind it (very young single parents, older mothers etc) but in this woman's case it is just too extreme.
