Anyone else in this situation?

Hi...I was single and 35 or so when I first thought about adopting...I wasn't in a serious relationship, but realized that having children as a single parent could make it harder to meet someone at a later date...and it has.
But, my question to you is that, could you live with yourself and your friend until death do you part...without having children...knowing that it was because of him that you couldn't have children! If you are determined and want to have children, then God has given you a want that you need to follow through on! You need to look into adoption, I did single adoption through China and received two beautiful baby girls, now 2 and 3 and my how my life has changed! I have never regretted it and never looked back! You need to truly do this based upon you because how are you ever going to be a good partner if having children is truly what you want!
I know its tough, and losing someone you care about is no picnic!
Good luck and let me know if you need any more help. Becky Folker
