Q of the day

I just know there is nothing like having your own child-- according to my mother. She was told she would never have children and look she had 7 kids!!! And she had one at the age of 40!! Go MOM!!

but i know from talking to her about adoption etc. she said she wanted to exhaust all other forms of conceiving her own flesh and blood! she would definitely adopt a child if she could not have one of her own. And actualyl her and my dad are thinking about adopting a kid maybe in the next year or so since pretty much everyone is older now except my 9 yr old brother. But anyway....she has told me that there is no feeling like having your own DNA (technically) in your arms. And I would not be so willing to give up hope if I was told once I couldnt have kids.

But if in the end there was absolutely no way. I would adopt.

I didn't say that having a healthy baby later in life was impossible, I just simply stated that society makes it seem like once a woman hits her 30's she HAS to start thinking about babies and the longer she waits, the smaller her chances get of A. getting pregnant easily or B. having a healthy baby . If at 33 I had another 5 or 6 years worth of professional schooling to go through or i was just starting out in my career, I might think about freezing my eggs. I don't want to turn around one day and it be 'too late'. KWIM?

I know what you mean.........I am definitely not defending my right to be a late in life parent by any means.
