I think most parents would agree that raising a child is the hardest thing they’ve ever done. The scariest thing they’ve ever done. When a person becomes a parent, whether through biology or adoption, they are agreeing to put the needs of a helpless little human before their own.

Most parents understand that. They understand it to mean middle of the night feedings, wiping poop off butts (and legs, and arms, and mom’s legs and arms!), giving up sleep, living in yoga pants and pony tails.
