I make a comfortable income and live in a modest townhouse near other family. My son's birth mother chose me not because of my marital status, social status, or income level, but because of the qualities I possess that she felt would make me a great mother. <br /><br />If you want children, please don't rule out doing it on your own. So sad to go through life missing out on something so amazing just because you're afraid of social stigma (or have been told you're "not enough"). cmgrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08005743027324957289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3980531981336832789.post-38817464109435459862012-11-21T15:31:09.038-07:002012-11-21T15:31:09.038-07:00I am new to your blog and I really liked this post...I am new to your blog and I really liked this post. I was single for a long time before my husband came along. I went through a lot of hard things on my own and it sucked. I can't imagine the amount of courage and strength you have to go through all of this on your own. <br /><br />I'm looking forward to following along.

I could be a millionare or my clock could be "running" out but I still wouldn't choose to have a child on my own, no way no how. Nor another pregnancy alone. It's not a question I can answer on my own. If/when I meet someone and we decide to make a joined life together then I can answer "do you want kids?" Right now, as a single woman no I don't want kids in my current state in life, and if my birth daughter is all I'll ever have of "parenthood" I will take that over being a single parent any day.A Life Being Livedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11702473000464603292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3980531981336832789.post-5425180312168107722012-11-17T20:49:20.927-07:002012-11-17T20:49:20.927-07:00I love love love your blog!
