I see all the comments on here about being grandparents, I became one on May 12th and most of my friends are not aware. I am not thrilled about it and really believe the child was brought into this world for all the wrong reasons. I keep asking myself why I do not feel closer to this child, I will definitely protect it but I do not feel a bond. What is my problem, I should be thrilled and going gaga over the child.

I have to say that Avery is just too cute for words. I must say I’m just a little jealous…:O) I can’t wait for my kids to give me grandchildren. It’s not happening any time in the near future but i can’t wait!!! Enjoy her!!

I know I am late but I still wanted to wish Avery a very Happy Birthday with lots more to come. She is so cute. I am Nana but my grandchildren are all grown up. My granddaughter,Alexandra, turned 20 April 2, & my grandson was 17 last December. When my granddaughter was born she had both my husband, Bruce, & I wrapped around not just a little finger but the whole hand. Enjoy every minute with her, as you know they grow up way to fast. God Bless You All.

Congratulations with your granddaughter here from Holland. Indeed she’s very cute and looks a bit naughty with all the cake on her face. I always watch your show here in Holland and think it’s great, I wish you a lot of more birthday parties with little Avery. By the way, I love the name Avery, it’s really a beautiful name. And what is the news you told? Is your daughter in law pregnant again? I couldn’t watch the show because here we see shows from maybe 1 year old. I wish I could live in America. I like the vibe there and everything is much cheaper than here. Anyway, I keep watching your shows. Greetings Marieke

Dear Dr. Phil: I have watched your show back when you started on Oprah. If anyone in this world needed a grandchild and many more it is you and Robin. I am a grandmother of twins, one girl Ella and Chris they are going to be 8 in July. They are are miracle children. My son and his partner have been together for about 15 years. They are both highly educated, both electrical engineers and computer science along with their MBA. When they became pregnant the first time it didn’t work. They uses an agency in California called generations, I believe the same one that Jane Lunden used. Anyway they tried again, and our miracle twins were delivered in L.a. My friends always worried on how I would feel, they being surrogate and all. Also, because I was raised in a orphanage and foster care program until I aged out. The first time I held them precious human babies in my arms I melted. I never in my life felt so connected. I remember my husband and I talking about when you were at social gatherings how boring it was about the grandparents showing pictures after pictures and stories of their grandchildren. I now understand we are one of them special grandparents. Because the parents are male partners my son from day one wanted no one nut him to be the primary caregiver. He called us and wanted to thank us for everything even his education but because of us giving him the opportunity to have this education he wanted us to understand that he was to be the primary stay at home dad. He read every book their he could he joined mothers group right along with the other mothers, they loved him and thought he was so funny. The children grew up with all kinds of friends from every culture and both gay and straight homes. From the time of birth and now he planned their day from morning to night. They never watched tv at night after baths they were allow one hour of a children DVD. After school they did outside activities until supper time then baths and their DVD. From the first night of their birth they read them a story, they still do today every night before they go to bed. I am so very proud of both my son and son in law. They have gave us the most precious gift of all. I wanted you to know how very much the feelings that you and Robin have. I am also a CASA Advocate and want to thank you for the work that you are doing for the less fortunate children as I was. I only wish that I had a Casa Advocate then. Bless you both and your family.
