[quote=Anonymous]At age 35, when marriage was not on the horizon, I decided to become a single mom. I gave a lot of thought to adoption vs. IUI/IVF and ended up doing the latter. It took until age 38 to have a child. Is it hard? Every day. But being a mom is amazing, and no less amazing I think without a father/partner to help. It is certainly harder, but every bit as rewarding and incredible. As someone else mentioned, you canNOT adopt at any age, as I've come to discover in considering adoption to grow my family. It can also take years to get approved. If you are serious, I would suggest starting the process now -- at least start exploring the possibilities and thinking about which you might want to pursue. You can stop the process at any time, but you can't make up for having waited too long. [/quote]
