JM Cady, children

[Guest guest]

Dear JM

There are many, many ways to have children, to love children, to have

meaningful relationship with children. It is painful for many to think of not

being a parent. I hope your way soon. IT IS NEVER PERFECT. THE TIME IS NEVER

JUST RIGHT. EVERY PARENT WORRIES ABOUT HAVING ENOUGH ENERGY. Some times are

better than others. But, time is marching by. You are young. You have many

chances right now not to make sure you do not live with crushing regret when

you are 20 years older than now. What you do NOW on this issue affects the

rest of Your life. There are lots of ways to have and love children. One way

is to be married and have a child from your body. Another way is to befriend

a child who has little in life. Another way is to contribute to the education

of an impoverished child and be in touch with them regularly. Another way is

to have a foster child. another way is to adopt a child. Another way is to

have in-vitro. Another way is to nurture the children of others on an " aunt "

basis, another way is to have a child via surrogate mother. another way is to

care for an older child who has no one. another way is to vidsit and follow

little chidren who are in orpahageds and who need hospital care. There are

many, many other ways as well. Some of these might be against your religion,

but all of them come under the category of true love.

I hope you will find your way to a child, if this is what you truly want. I

know their are many children already on earth who cry for the loving touch of

a mother who will care for them.

love,
