Thank you all for your comments and for sharing your stories. We both read your responses and talked about it quite a bit over the weekend. I'm not ruling it out, but you all made such good points; and another issue would be that I would get so attached, so quickly, that I would not want to give a child up. And you're right, we feel young, but there are times when we feel our age more than others. And the reasons for wanting to do this....of course we want to give a child a good home, but maybe a big part of it is to fill a gap in my life, and I certainly wouldn't want to smother the child.

So, thanks to you, Western Bluebird, Unique, Junebugm and Angelsmuse, we have a wider perspective.
