Great essay Joshua. Anytime you're able to weave in Sorkin is always a step towards something better.

I love all the details, but especially the one about adoptive parents feeling that same connection. I was right there for the whole read--you're definitely on to something. I'm guessing your next memoir?

I'm just trudging through the emails I didn't look at for a couple weeks after my accident and just read this essay today Josh. What a fascinating look into your journey to parenthood! Thank you for sharing such personal, intimate details. I would like to share my journey that ended with my decision not to have children with you sometime (it's not a long one).
