[quote=Anonymous]I cannot offer advice on adoption, but it does sound like at this stage of your life you are still trying to figure out romantic relationships and may even be trying to fill with a child a void that belongs to a romantic partner. That can make for a messed up childhood, as I'm sure you already realize. I am saying this as someone who had a child pretty early on and went through a lot of self-discovery and a lot (probably too much) dating in front of her. I am also saying this as a child of a very loving single mother who did a lot of dating and self-discovery in front of me. I don't think that seeing my mother as a flawed human being who was still finding her way in life scarred me in some major way, just as I hope I have not scarred my daughter. Still, if given the choice, wouldn't you rather wait until you had things figured out a bit more before bringing a child into the mix?[/quote]
