On my list of things I want to do before I die, having a child (or adopting one), getting married, and falling madly in love are on that list...they're not listed together or in any particular order. I don't feel that I have to be married to have a child. I'll have a child when I'm ready to be a mother. I don't feel like I'm having a child out of societal expectations; I truly feel that I've made the decision to have a child because I love kids, I want to teach someone, and I feel like I will be a good mother. Being a single parent isn't easy, I know. But really, is life ever easy?
