[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you are just lucky to have the option. I am 40 and have never met my person. I am not interested in raising a child alone so in all likelihood will never have children. I have a nice life, but I feel really sad about what I may have missed out on or at the least the ability to make the choice.[/quote]

Why do you not want to raise a child alone?

I was you.  I never found my person.  In my 30s, I saw the world and was professionally successful.  By my 40s, I felt like I was repeating myself, and that there was something missing.  In mid 40s, I hit the jackpot and adopted a newborn.  DC was in a desperate situation.  Now, DC is a few months away from being an adult.  I admit that sometimes I look at DC and say to myself, “Wow, I did it!”  I totally re-invented myself in Chapter 2 as DC’s mom, and, because of the professionally successful part, i have been able to give DC a pretty great childhood.  I can’t imagine how my life would have turned out without DC.  If you want to do it, do it.  It can happen to you the way it happened to me.[/quote]
