Family

Today I read at a radio station website about how this local comedian is a single mom and from the looks of the baby, looks like its adopted.

so she is a single mom. this brings out what once a friend said to me, that if i don't get married I could always adopt a child.

Here's my view on this. I totally believe in having the true family structure. Meaning the child should have a father and mother. I believe there is a term for this but that slips my mind at the moment.(esp after the war at work which is still ongoing which is darn tiring). If under some forseen circumstances, one of the parent has to exit from this world due to natural causes than I guess its unavoidable that one has no choice but be a single mom. I am not talking about those who choose to indulge in sexual activies before marriage and end up knocked up and having to be a single mom. Becoz they had a choice and they made their choice.

But I am talking more on the area where a lady who has reached a certain age and decided to adopt a baby so that her life would be complete. Maybe its a very nobel thing to do. But I strongly feel that that child should have a mother and father to grow up complete.

But of course that just my opinion.
I would want my child to grow up in a wholesome family environment.
But i do understand the feeling of inadequate having no children or husband at a certain age. Believe me that thought goes thru my mind each day without fail.

But all I can live on is Hope and mercy from God.

Be strong. You will find your match eventually.. I found mine at the age of 32. That's a long time compare to all my friends who are already married with kids at that age. So, your turn will come. Have faith.

OH, I had the same thought yrs back, to adopt a child or 'just do it' and get pregnant - deliver one - haha. As time goes , i also changed my mind that hving a baby is not about me - it's about the baby , and I shldn't be so selfish to bring the baby to this world without a proper family....Let's have faith :)
