And I would be worried when they decide to adopt because it means -in my opinion- the beginning of the end of the MURDOCH MYSTERIES. I would rather have Julia work on overcoming her infertility, since that's a medical mystery. If they have to adopt, I hope it's an infant. Like you, I don't want the attention of the show to be drawn to kiddie hijinks. Then it would turn into Little House on the Prairie in Canada. Ps. Don't worry, I haven't formed any opinion on what you think about the "soap opera" - I'm too focused on my own opinions to worry about what other people think, hahahah! XD Regarding Tie vs. Hat: IMHO, in a death match, the homburg would beat the tie, with a sexy time exception. |

Back to the original thread here. Either gender would be great for them, but I foresee them adopting very young brother and sister.
Ties are absolutely phallic symbols so that explains a lot.
William and Julia are a good match because of their intellectual and cultural interests and there is a definite sexual attraction, just think about their various fantasies.
If the issue of raising their children in the Church comes up, Julia should remember several things.
She views herself as a modern woman who accepts all kinds of philosophies and ideas. Why is she so vehemently opposed to religion and faith?
William has made several major concessions for her and because of that he has eased his views on several things.
He has forgiven her the abortion.
He has forgiven her for having a premarital affair.
He has forgiven her for marrying Darcy.
The Church is a large part of William's make up and is partly responsible for the man she loves, she should trust William when it comes to the religious training of the children, but she should not undermine him.
Another thread is that William's inhibitions will fall away after they are married. All I can say is I hope so.
I just saw the time machine episode in which she says something along the lines that the would love to live in a future William Murdoch envisions.

I don't think Julia opposes religion and faith at all. I think she is open minded about it and supports William's Catholicism, though she did get snippy when it became an obstacle to her divorce. Her issue about the children would be indoctrinating them into a *particular* religion instead of leaving them free to choose, thus repeating the cycle that created all the straitjackets for her and William. Moreover, she'd probably just resent anyone telling her to do anything. On top of that, Catholicism would be a significant hindrance to the future prospects of the child in Toronto. Because of the concessions William has made, as you point out, it's possible he may be able to negotiate with her on some points. But he would have to negotiate. The writers can't just skip over this and pretend this issue isn't there and merrily let William and Julia get married in a church. If they do, I'm calling in the Historical Nitpicker Police. The faiths of two parties are involved in a marriage, and both have to be considered before assigning the religious education of the children. In the case of William and Julia, it isn't so clear that William will be primarily responsible for answering a child's questions and molding his/her ideas. Childcare will probably become a three way responsibility (William, Julia, and Nanny). William and Julia will have to maintain good communications, recognize when their ideas may conflict, and be careful not undermine each other. |

Hi everyone! We all know that William wants to have children and Julia is not or at least seems not opposed to the idea. But if they had one and only one child, would you prefer they have a boy OR a girl? I don't want to put a cart before the horse but I'm just curious to know your opinion. In my vision the child is an infant A last thing! Play the game. Do not tell "both" or twins -a boy AND a girl- because I said "one and only one child". My two cents worth: after a year or so of marriage and working out the kinks ( think what you want about "kinks" those of you who like to talk about ties and hats and such!;-)) they apply to adopt a child, a boy because Julia knows William has always wanted a son. Lo and behold, the orphanage makes a mistake, and they end up with a girl! I know, so Anne of Green Gables, but so Canadian, no? at first there is talk of sending her back, but William falls in love with the little angel. In my story the child is an infant, not like Anne, though. |

( think what you want about "kinks" those of you who like to talk about ties and hats and such!;-)) I saw what you did there.  So sweet. So Christmas. I don't care. I love it. Is there a voting box somewhere?  I doubt anyone younger than 35 and/or not Canadian actually remembers Anne of Green Gables. I only vaguely remember because I had the books as a hand-me-down (and, apparently, Canadian ancestors). The MM writers might as well "borrow", hehe.  **** Notice, months later, I figured out how to split the quotes!!! The era of mega-quotes is officially over! Here is how you do it: 1) Cut and paste to get the parts of the previous post you want to separate out of the previous quote box. You can leave the first quote there if you want. 2) Highlight whatever snippet you want to respond to. 3) Click on the "quote" button at the far right of the buttons above the Reply text box (right beside the Smileys). This will put your shorter quote back in its own quote box. Voila! |

Therefore, please be indulgent. When Julia had to resort to a clandestine abortion, she fell in the hands of a butcher and she almost died. Dr TASH saved her life. And I always thought that if an hysterectomy was not requiered to save her life and if Dr TASH had just cauterized her wounds, maybe with time, the uterine wall would have been enough healed to allow a fertilized ovum to attach to it. A MIRACLE! LOL. But in my opinion, Ialso think we never see Julia pregnant for reasons which have nothing to do with the past of the character of Julia. It was just an allusion to "Mysteries vs Ships". I realise it was a little bit clumsy . OUPS!  |

It has never been stated that Julia had a hysterectomy. For me this leaves the door open for Julia to search for a medical procedure that will allow her to get pregnant again. This era is at the dawn of true medical science and experimentation, including the first artificial insemination! Even if Julia cannot get pregnant, I would be interested in seeing her investigate the possibility. Perhaps her hopes can be raised...and then dashed.  If Helene gets a movie offer or something, this could be an excuse for her to run off to Europe to consult a specialist. |

Where is the cut and paste icon? ( sorry I tried to find it but I am afraid of really messing up. ) |

Where is the cut and paste icon? ( sorry I tried to find it but I am afraid of really messing up. ) These instructions only apply to windows computers. Highlight whatever you want to cut/paste by running the mouse cursor over it while the LEFT mouse button is held down. Then you have several options. 1) Your Internet browser has a menu at the top of the screen. Look for the word "Edit". Cut and Paste will be under that. or 2) RIGHT click with your mouse on top of your highlight text. This will give you a menu with Cut/Paste options on it or 3) There are keyboard shortcuts. Once your text is highlighted, use ctrl+c to Cut and ctrl+v to Paste. Try experimenting with one or all three of those methods. I know you can do it! The key is getting the text you want to cut or move highlighted first. |

I used the term "butcher" in order to make you understand that at this time an abortion was more a slaughter than a medical/surgical act during which the uterus could be cut/ripped -the butcher used some "tools" -not always sterilized- to catch the fetus to drag it out of the body without even thinking about the consequences for the uterine wall- so women could die from a massive haemorrhage or from an infection and then hysterectomy was the only requiered way to save them. That's why she knew without a doubt that she can not have a baby. |

Now I realize the major problem is I do most of my Proboarding on an iPad because the PC is so slow and tempermental . This does not mean that selecting quotes cannot be done on an iPad, it means I have to figure it out. I just enjoy reading what everyone is saying so much that I leave little time for working the technicalities. This is the only fan board I have ever been involved in so it is all new to me. I am just so grateful that his even exists because it is so much fun. Thanks again. |

I don't have an iPad, but I've tried to email on a Kindle Paperwhite, and it's the most onerous thing imaginable! Please do not worry about formatting if you're on an iPad!!! You're lucky to be able to type! If you do need to do something, I'm sure it would be on a menu. But again, please don't bother. No one is judging you on your style here. I'm using a regular laptop, and it just took me a year to figure out how to break up big quotes in my replies! |

Even if Julia cannot get pregnant, I would be interested in seeing her investigate the possibility. Perhaps her hopes can be raised...and then dashed. I'm voting for a slightly different version...William and Julia set the adoption process in motion for a boy. This takes a little while based on their different religions, since adoption agencies at the time were generally faith-based. In the meantime, Julia does her medical searching. Finally their little boy arrives and not long after Julia miraculously gets pregnant and has a girl. |
