I would like a large family, but am stuck at the social resposibility of only replacing yourself and spouse.  I can always foster or adopt to expand my family, but I love being pregnant and breastfeeding.

Think of it this way - not everybody in the world is having a child, or 2 children. And besides, there are ways that our world can cope with an expanding population. It's in countries where we can't cope that there's a problem. Have all the babies you want, so long as you can nurture them and care for them. Just don't build a giant house and don't support subdivisions. That's where it starts to hurt the Earth.

Getting married changed my life. Now I have someone who loves me when before I was lonely and sad. I can deal with people on a much higher level than I could before because living with another person makes you more aware of how other people think. I'd like to pass on how to love to my children.

You can have the baby, and let me adopt it.  I am a mother of three.  I would welcome your child.

Talk to your parent's about it and weigh your options.. If you really feel you can not support a baby at this point in your life think about giving it up for adoption. There are many willing family's out there that can't have childern.

I was going to answer this question by saying adopt simply because there are so many needy kids in this world, but I think I'll give you MY honest answer. If I really wanted a baby I would definitely go to the sperm bank (being male it would be a deposit). A surrogate mother would be the way to go, in my opinion. If you want a baby you're better off having one you helped create from the start (unless you're unable to).\n\nIf you simply wanted a child, I would say adopt, but a baby I would say spermsicle.

Just reading your question you sound like a wonderful person..first you gave up a good job but your priority was your baby (who you love more than life itself) and your husband is happy with you and your kids love you..couple of questions?..has it been very long since you had your baby?..could you be suffering from post-partum depression?..Could you just be depressed?..Please talk with your doctor about your concerns..So much about our lives today are busy and as women we are caregivers. We ignore our needs. Your feelings   and thoughts may be a chemical imbalance in your brain (you have no control of) often just talking with a mental health clinician can help you pinpoint why you have those feelings and how to re-direct them or change your focus..Be happy (I know how simple this sounds) Sometimes the money becomes the focus and it doesn't let you see how important your family and your life is..I wish you the very best.. Let this new move be a new start for you and your family..sounds exciting but busy...

JewJew, never mind the immature answers from some of the previous entries. \n\nLook, there are other alternatives to your situation.  It is wonderful that you and your husband have the love that you do for children and want to have more in your family.  Some families out there don't care enough for the children that they have been blessed with.  You can see that play right out on your answer list by those that probably were not brought up with a lot of morals.\n\nWhich brings us to the next point I am going to make.  There are a lot of children already out there that need loving families.  Such as yourselves.  Adoption would definitely be something to consider, without taking the medical risk that you are willing to.\n\nThis would be worth your time to look into, and as I already stated, don't be bothered by some of the other previous answers because they undoubtedly do not have a clue on what good parenting is all about, whether you have an entire house full of kids, or just one.\n\nGood luck to you and your husband's decision, Make it an act of faith!!   God Bless you and your family.....

I wanted to be a mother even younger than that.  \n\nI always thought that at least that way, I would have 1 person that would love me unconditionally.  I was raised in a very tumultuous family.  Bad adoption and all that crud.  Always felt left out and always dreamed of having a child....even at like 10 years old.  I held onto that...until I had my first at 19.\n\nIt is so hard.  I am now 33 and my girls are 14, 13 & 12.  I wouldn't give them up for the world.  However, for their sake, I would do it different if I could.  I would get an education so I didn't have to work at low income jobs...just now trying to get myself through school to get a good career.  There are days that I dont know where the next meals are coming from....or the electric bill money...\n\nso....take your time hon.....get an education...live a little...there is plenty of time for babies...PLENTY!!

Only you can decide what to do, but keep in mind that there are good people out there like me that want more children and can't have them.  You gotta do what is best for your child.  Don't let anyone tell you what to do. If you just want someone to talk to you can IM me.

I got pregnant by a guy who thought was a night in shining armor (turned out to be a jerk in tin foil).  When I miscarried at 12 weeks I was devastated!  I had serious depression after that.  I stopped living in a way and was just there.  One day it dawned on me that I needed to leave if I was ever going to move on.  3 weeks later I was at Naval boot camp in Chicago.  That led to meeting my wonderful hubby and having a beautiful son.  I'm even pregnant again!  I'm no longer in the Navy because I wanted to stay at home to care for my son myself but I know that if I hadn't of joined the Navy that day, I wouldn't have the wonderful life I have now.

for love to replace family it has to include all the neccessary things that family provides for us to survive(sometimes we don't notice them until they are missing). Unless you are already not getting along with family for other reasons, there are too many fish in the sea to pick one that cost you such a high price.  if you don't know this i'll tell you, it's harder to find another family like yours than another partner.  too, it's impossible to find the unconditional love they give.\nthere are several people for every person that needs a match, but not enough parents to go around!\nlike kojak says "who loves you baby?"

Wow, I haven't heard about this program.  I am so glad you asked this question.  I will be interested to hear the responses.  I've always wanted a sister or someone like a sister to be close to.  My husband and I only have boys (4) and while I would love a daughter, we just aren't able to have any more. Some day we hope to be able to find a baby or toddler to adopt.  But this program you are talking about sounds pretty neat.  \n\nIs it different than Big Brothers and Big Sisters?  I tried the Big Sister program and it didn't work out well.  The little girl I was assigned had her Mother come back into her life and she didn't want our relationship to continue, the Dad thought it was a jealousy thing.

I am in that situation right now. I had a one night stand and got pregnant, which I was told I could never have children. The guy and I got together but we weren't in love. We made our bed so we are lieing in it. It isn't our son's fault that we didn't use protection. Besides I am happy I had my son. We feel that even though we are not happy, in order for our son to be whole with a happy life, that we are sacrificing our happiness. Divorce is really hard on the children and being raised by a single parent is sometimes difficult. All my son's friends are being raised by a single parent. Most of them come to our home to eat dinner and get dessert which they don't get at home. They hang out at our house cos their parents are out on the weekends trying to find another mate. One has gone down the wrong road, the other misses home cooked meals, the other one misses his dad doing father-son things even though there is visitation. If there isn't any abuse involved, I would say stay until they are out of high school.

Give the baby up for adoption. you will be suprised to find out how many woen cant have kids and would love you child very well. You might be able to find financial aid in the process or establish an open adoption where you are involved as well!

You could adopt, there is more to being a parent that sharing DNA.  You would have your female child, and be making her life much better than it was.
