[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]

It is none of your business, and is extremely self-righteous of you to say it grosses you out when women in their 40s have babies.

I went through YEARS of unexplained infertility, and had finally "given up" when I got pregnant four months before my 40th birthday. It happened, and it was a tremendous gift. I got pregnant again at 41. Again, it was a tremendous gift.

Some 70-year-olds are more active and healthier than some 25-year-olds, and people die at all different ages, so it isn't a valid argument to say that we "old folks" will die when our children are still young adults. We don't know that.[/quote]
