I love the whole world
A friend of mine, who is one of the best people in the world, is about to adopt a baby. I'm so happy for her I could cry. Yeah, that's why I'm crying. Let's go with that.

(But I am happy for her, I really am.)

I'm sending [info]someotherguy home with some hugs.

Oh, and you know that they poop, right?

Hee! Yes, and at this point, I don't actually *want* a baby, exactly, but I still long for one, especially when I've got my period. :-)

I, on the other hand, both long and want one, although realistically now is not the time. I'm barely solvent enough to support myself, financially I can't handle it.

Oh, if we're just talking about desire, I want one and always have. But for me, "really want" has to involve feeling ready and able to do it. Does that make sense?

And that is why you would make a good mom. Because there is more to being a parent that the biological ability.

Most definitely!

Yes! Perfect sense, in fact, because that's how I feel too. :)

Yay for other people having babies. :-)

(I hope that doesn't offend anyone.)

Doesn't offend me. Much as I've always loved babies and wanted one, OPC (Other People's Children) are the best kind of all. ;-)

ah, those hormonal surges that scream *MUST*HAVE*BABY*

it happened most strongly for me at age 24 and then at age 33.

then I became a part-time mom at age 40 for 10 years, til she grew up and didn't need me (sniff) and I LOVED the experience, and it was just what I wanted.


I'm glad you clarified yourself as the comments unfolded, cuz I had a different impression of what you were saying when I just read the opening post.
