Nice

It was a nice story. It is wonderful that you can go to other countries and track your family history. To see the way way our families lived. By the country history why a person left to start a new life in a new country. Very nice story about her family home country of Estonia.

This book resonated with me on so many levels that I often found myself with a huge lump in my throat on the verge of tears, and I am not a crier!

Two of my maternal uncles have a genetic disorder called Fragile X. Though not as medically devastating as HED, it still comes with it's own set of concerns and medical issues. My family has struggled with the idea of genetic testing for years and it has caused some frustrated conversations among my extended family. I have struggled, personally, much like Rough did, about whether or not genetic testing is for me. For me, it is not about the possibility of choosing not to have children, or even terminating a pregnancy; I simply want to have all my ducks in a row to be prepared for possibilities.

I admire Rough for sharing her story, especially about such an emotionally charged and personal topic. I applaud her for bravery. I'm not sure many people could be so open about sharing such a remarkable personal journey to motherhood.
