This one stings

I want a baby.

I wish I could have a baby.

When I found out when I was 23 that I had a heart condition it took a while but I got over it.

Those magazines and all those internet articles say it's possible. Why do these specialists insist I shouldn't.

I want a baby so bad.

I can't believe this is how I'd grow up to become.

I don't know you, but I've read your fanfiction (and I think you're incredibly talented, btw). I wish you all the luck in the world and hope that one day you are able to have the baby you want.

Have you thought about adopting or maybe even looking into being a foster mother? That way you could be a mother and you wouldn't be putting your life at risk.

It is not legal in my country for a single mother to adopt, no matter how much you earn. I've looked and consulted. I';ve been looking for about 3 yrs.

I've consulted 4 doctors. They don't encourage it even if I say I'm willing to take the risk.

I haven't looked at foster care, That's an idea. I'll start checking that out, see if that's an option.

I'm sorry for your hardship. All I can say is keep trying. Crazier miracles have happened.

I'm so sorry.

I think it's a travesty that governments discriminate against single parenting, when there are children out there that simply need a loving home. Their priorities are seriously misplaced.

I pray you'll defy the odds and receive your own little miracle, Cath. *hugs*

Exactly my point. In every real sense I believe I am more capable--financially and emotionally--to take care of a kid than many of the government agencies that put them in these big places where they don't have enough attention.

I reached a point a couple of weeks ago that I actually thought of the ridiculous option of getting hitched just to qualify. *shakes head*

Anyway, there is one option that is opening up to me and I found out about it just yesterday afternoon. So I am crossing my fingers...
