I'm 42, want to have a child, but am without a babydaddy. My boyfriend
of three years already has three boys and is not passionate about adding
more to his plate of responsibilities. He hasn't ruled it out, but my
ticking clock is about to stop. This is my dilemma. What do I do?
The
path I'm on feels untrodden and lonely.
But I know I am not alone. I know countless other women are out there
struggling with this same issue in silence. We delayed having a baby for
so long, now the obstacles are even greater than we could've ever
imagined. We don't want to give up our dream of being a mother. Medical
science and our increasing independence as women makes it possible to do
it later and on our own. But society and how we define relationships
and families has not caught up. I hope by sharing my story as I embark
on this uncharted territory, I can start a discussion about the
sometimes harsh realities of chasing motherhood into our 40s.
