[quote=Anonymous] At your age you're probably looking at IVF with embryo adoption, or a donor egg and donor sperm. It's going to be expensive and emotionally exhausting just trying to get pregnant and give birth to a child that is not even biologically related to you. You would have an increased risk of complications and preterm birth, all without a partner at home to hold down the fort in case you experience major issues like I did (kidney failure! liver problems) due to preeclampsia. And then what if your child has special needs or disabilities? You will have to tackle this alone. It really sounds like you're having trouble with the idea of an empty nest. You could instead focus your energy into volunteering with kids or try fostering a child after your teen leaves home. Giving birth is not a panacea for your fears of loneliness and aging.[/quote]
