[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can people explain this to me please, I realize I'm being ignorant and probably will trigger the old farts on this forum. But why? Why not adopt? Do you really want to be 60 when your child is 20? 70 at 30? Women who have babies in their 40s really grosses me out.

I understand the economic and cultural differences for waiting to be older, but biologically you are at menopause age. [/quote]

So if you adopt at 40 you will still be 50 when the kid is 20. That logic makes zero sense.

Also...menopause kicks in primarily at 50, not 40.

Lastly, women naturally have the ability to keep having kids until they cannot. That is why in previous generations prior to birth control family sizes were larger. Many women would have kids over a span of three decades, from their late teens until their mid 40s...and this was natural.

There are plenty of unhealthy teens, 20s and 30s who eat poorly and are overweight who choose to have a baby. What is the woman is 40 and super fit...she is just if not more qualified to have a baby and raise them setting a great example.[/quote]
