They will put a prospective adoptive parent through the ringer up here. Good luck.

The people that are qualified to raise kids never get them. The assholes have them in spades.

It's a calling!!! Help by making some poor girl who's already been traumatized six ways from Sunday feel guilty about not wanting to carry a rapist's baby.

I'm aware of how expensive adoption is and how many hoops you have to jump through, I also have a partner who can't conceive. We've already made the decision, so don't assume that because I'm choosing to look at the bigger picture that I'm automatically an insensitive asshole because I don't need to validate your…

Those goldfish crackers are like magic. I have a two year old nephew living with me and I make sure they are ALWAYS in the house.

I guess because I've never felt that burning desire to conceive and give birth, I just don't get it. All I can think is that there are so many unwanted children in the world that need homes (or you know, that extra 25K). This just seems - wasteful.

I have a sister in law that had three boys between the ages of 17 and 21. No money. not finished high school, no real world experience, nothing. She is the most chill, responsible and down right good mother I've come across. I think part of that comes from having mother hood be her entire focus her entire adult life.…

My mother always said she was two young at 25 and too old by 30. As 30 creeps up, I'm sure that I'm not going to be calmer or cooler dealing with a new infant as the years go by.

The fact that she survived as well as she has amazes me. I did not have a brain in my head at 23. I can't imagine one of my mistakes becoming that public and being called a slut by half the WORLD. I would have crawled under a rock and died.

AMEN.

Oh he's a bundle of issues and I know that but usually he'll make the right call.

Well if card playing is that dangerous, every woman in my family is damned for eternity. Aw shucks. who wants to play Canasta?

Oh I believe it. But I also know a few women that wouldn't think that far ahead.

There there, I went back and added a "of the" to calm your ire.

My, you are a literal one aren't you.

There's also a little martyrdom to it in some cases, I suspect. I can see many women going "I don't want to burden them."

This doesn't shock me. I watched a good male friend tank the best relationship he ever had because she has severe endometriosis. He just plain couldn't deal - which I get. However he handled it so badly. Instead of being honest about his feelings and giving both of them an out he did things like say they should live…

Not really a celeb, but you need to do that Scotty Bowers book. He's the gas station attendant that claimed he was doing everyone from Katharine Hepburn to Robert Mitchum. The delusion SEEPS out of that book.

That sounds like Canada Post. She's lucky she found out within a decade what had happened.

I swear, some of these people are doing this just for freebies.
