Realization Of A New Father
I heard you give some advice to a future father who was struggling with being the "culprit" in not being able to conceive.  Recently, my wife and I had a similar experience.  We went through fertility treatments assuming that the problem was with her. Turns out it was me.

I went through the same emotions that caller did.  We tried donor sperm and that failed.  We then decided to go through adoption and late last year, our wonderful baby boy found us.  I want to reiterate how right you were.  Once you hold that child in your arms, once you change the poopy diapers, once your child falls asleep on you or grabs your finger with his little hand, all of that worry melts away and you realize that this is YOUR child.  There is no doubt in my mind that he is MY son.

Thank you for your advice to that father which indirectly helped me.  Since listening to your show, I've become a better husband, father, friend and son.

Sincerely,

Shawn
