How do you keep from everything getting you down? Money issues, juggling herapy and everything else? And not melting down when your child melts down.
I filled out an application to become an egg donor. Apparently since I receive government assistance it seriously limits any options I have to become a surrogate. Because the government would require the intended parents to pay all my assistance... And they usually reimburse you for travel expenses which I could not comeup with in the first place, even to get them reimbursed. So it sounds like this is out...
It will be July when David says he will be down. Which at the moment I do not even care anymore. Everybody is pushing me to terminate his rights. Why should anybody other than myself get that choice... My life is my own. And it is dedicated to Michael...
I think that is my problem is that I am only 22 and losing my identity... I remember the beginning of my senior year I had a huge future ahead of me, I had never thought it would be all sacrificed. And since he started seeing therapists I have been drowning. I think I need a job, I need to find something to do with my time where I have adult contact. If only I had a car and daycare huh... There are thousands of business grants out there, I am scared of getting ripped off. I think I need to concentrate on one thing, dream, and actually fight to make it come true.
Shootingstars you are still
Shootingstars you are still very young..... I could be
your mom, so let me give you some motherly advice.
I wouldnt donate any of my eggs even if I was young
enough to even consider it. It used to be medical
students would donate sperm (Im sure plenty still
do). That's your genetics. Remember I told you I have
two older siblings out there that I'll never meet
because my birth father got around and then a half
sister I finally found when I was forty one. You would
regret it later in life. I know money is an issue (isnt
it for everybody just about now adays). There are
other ways to make ends meet. Keep your chin up.
You're just overwelmed right now with problems
in the building and problems with your x. Thats
just some free advice from an OLDER woman lol.
If I got pregnant no I would
If I got pregnant no I would give it up for adoption. I am not against the ideas. I would rather choose to give the gift of a child to somebody than give up a child. I would do the surrogate in a heart beat, even with my own egg for a friend of mine, but she cannot afford to pay my state aid. My best friends all support the idea. Actually not that I care what David thinks, he is for it as well. My mother is ok with the idea. I put in an application, but have not heard back yet.
I also stepped back and thought about my own siblings from my biological father. If my mother had donated eggs, I would not consider them my siblings. If my father had donated sperm, I would not think of those children as siblings... In my opinion they are the children of those who raise them. I never met them, and they have the choice to find me, and I guess I come from an open minded idea about family.
