[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this even possible at your age?[/quote]Umm, yes, I'm only 43! Everything still works the right way and I'm in great shape... My OB/GYN is completely fine with it.[/quote]

Only 43???? Are you out of your mind?

This whole discussion is probably moot if you're thinking of having biological children.[/quote]

^^ Where are you from PP?  Open your eyes, 43 is hardly unheard of.[/quote] This is not true. Statistically speaking more women are having kids over 40 and with the right preparation (vitamins, folic acid, healthy) ...they are more successful and better parents then the "younger generation".  Women have careers, and are waiting longer. Couples are getting married older and then having healthy kids. Its 2015 people. [/quote]

Yea. I'm sure these kids when they are 40 with their own families will be THRILLED to either have dead parents or parents in their mid 80s who will have ZERO chance of knowing their own grandkids. But hey, at least with that mountain of money you supposedly spent all that time earning, they can dry their tears with 100 dollar bills.[/quote]

You have no idea when or even IF the kids will grow up to have kids.  For all you know the kids could wind up having kids in their 20's and that would mean the grandparents would be in their 60's when the grandchild is born - hardly relics. Those grandparents might even be alive and well when their great grandchildren are born.

There are far worse things than being born to two people who both want you.

I think that you need to think about the "what ifs" though.  What if you agree to try to have a baby together and you find that you are unable to conceive using your own eggs.  Would you give up on the idea of having a baby or would you be willing to try using donor egg(s).  Would you be o.k. having a baby that was not biologically related to you but is biologically related to him.  Could that potentially make things complicated for you if there was ever a custody dispute...

Look at all angles before you leap.
