| Introduction | Like most choice mothers, I have been very busy. I served 8 years in the US Armed Forces, I have advanced degrees in Psychology and Criminal Justice and I have been a federal agent for 6 years. Having children had never entered my mind until I turned 26 and for the first time one of my friends got pregnant. I started thinking at that point and as the years flew by the thinking intensified. In my line of work, it is VERY common to see a single female approach 40 and panic because she didn't have kids. In the last 18 months I have seen 3 over-40 women either adopt or give birth. Now it seems like everywhere I turn people are having babies. So I have decided that I am not waiting until I hit 40. I haven't given up on finding my soul mate, but whoever it is seems to be taking their sweet time to show up and I'm okay with that. I'm just not going to keep hitting the snooze button on the clock. At 31, I know I am in the very young age range for this decision, but I also know one thing is certain: I will age, my eggs will age, and my fertility will decline. I also know I'll regret not doing this now while my job has (for the most part) steady hours. So, my journey begins. |
