Hi Holly I don't think you should feel in any way guilty or that you have to apologize for saying how you feel. I know that this is a very touchy and emotional issue, as is abortion. At this point, I don't know if I can have kids, am almost 32, and have accepted that the chances are slim. Now, I don't mean that I'm not sad about it, but I have to live with it the best that I can, and not let the rest of the wonderful things in my life be dimminished because of it. I've also worked in child protection for almost ten years, and I see what happens to children when they are borne to people who are not ready or capable. I think the best gift a woman can give to a potential child is not get pregnant when its truly something they don't want at this times. Making a decision to not have a child, can be the smartest thing a woman can do. I wish you all happiness and health and even though I said above "shouldn't need to apologize....." I do hope that I've not offended or upset anyone. Amy
