[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Obviously, DCUM falls into two very clearly divided groups:

1) people who have kids in their 40s;
2) people who stridently disapprove -- with charts!

Here's my question: would #2 people disapprove if OP adopted kids in her 40s like my SIL did?

Is fostering O.K. to you?

If so, why or why not?

OP, you can guess that I'm in Camp #1; my advice to you is never to run your life by consensus. You're the only person who gets to live it.

Camp 3. People who think this entire arrangement is immoral and selfish on op's part. No matter what the age [/quote] How many couples get divorced? No marriage, no divorce. Just 2 loving parents.  Op is not naïve, I can name 8 friends right now that had healthy pregnancies in their 40's .  of which 3 were FIRST pregnancies.  It happens...maybe the conservative crew on DCUM doesn't see it, accept it, but it happens....and it does work out.  How many 20 somethings do you see not taking care of their kids? Watch the news.  How about go visit a hospital and ask for their statistics, you'd be shocked.  If OP wants to go it alone fine, but if she has a healthy willing sperm donor that she has know for 14 yrs...I'd rather that then anon donor. If Op's doctor had reservations, I'm sure he/she would have voiced them....[/quote]
