And if you go into adoption, here's my advice. Know what you are getting into. Some of those children do have behavior problems that can be a real pain to deal with. Also make sure that you go through a good adoption agency, cause trust me, there's a lot of crappy ones out there.
I'm definitely researching into it. I want to adopt a child maybe 5-10 year old. I want them to know, yes I'm not their "real" mother but they can be loved.
Ironically they have said this to me. They have little time thats why their mums look after their kids.I don't think your selfish at all. God for bid a woman wants to finish college, become successful in life, and gain respect in society. Your friends sound like that they're jealous of you. They'll have a much harder going back to school and they don't have as much freedom as you.
Having a kid is fine, but you should have one on your own terms and when you're ready to settle down. Get all the traveling and partying and whatever the hell else out of the way with, find a stable job with good health care and income and THEN it would be feasible to have a kid. Well, that's if you want to be a nurturing parent and give the kid a decent childhood.
So bottom line, no, you're not being selfish and I think your friends are.
That's what I said, apparently I was attacking their parenting skills. (Which I was). Their not really my friends anymore, my friends are with me at college. These girls are ones I use to hang around with in high school.
