[quote=Anonymous]There is not a single person in my personal circle (I am nearly 60) who had baby prior to age 30. We all have graduate degrees, so 40+ is quite the normal age to have a family here in DC. The majority of the population across the US does not have the percentage of graduate degrees like this area does. Here, it almost seems to be required. When you have no plans for graduate and post-graduate school, then babies can come when you are younger. i adopted my kids at 41 and 43, but most of my friends birthed at least one of their babies in that age range. Especially if you are going to be a single parent -- like so many of my friends -- you were finishing your degrees and building a nest egg. [/quote]
