[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How much “later in life” are you now?[/quote]

I’m 39, he’s 46.[/quote]

I wonder if is more of the issue. In the VERY BEST scenario you have a baby when hes 47. Thsts granpa territory for people having kids right out of college. Maybe he realizes this kid will have a dad who might not be able to throw the ball and be an active parent. Maybe he realizes that this kid might end up losing a parent to old age in his 9r her 20s or 30s. In reality with adoption, if you can even find someone willing to adopt out to such old patents you teo will me mid 40s and early 50s. How fair is that putting your bio kid potentially in the parent role one day?[/quote]

OP again. Yes, we are old. But he very much wants to have another bio kid. And he’s going to be in grandpa territory anyway, with the kid he already has. My struggle is that he only wants a bio kid conceived naturally - he does not want adoption or fertility treatments.[/quote]
Does he not want to do fertility treatments because of financial concerns? Because it will be you who undergoes all the invasive procedures.[/quote]
