Every holiday I get harrangued by my beloved mother, when am I going to settle down and get married and give her a grandchild (like the 4 my sister has arent' enough)

The marriage thing she's given up on with me, seeing as I can't seem to stay engaged. the kid thing is an impossibility and I never did get around to telling them, that due to a drunk driver hitting me, certain complications forced a hysterectomy - not exactly the news any parent wants for their 21 year old.
So I never bothered to tell them, they'll eventually figure out I'm too old to have kids and I wasted that opportunity.

The fact that I can't have children ceased bothering me ages ago, I might want one some day, but I'd definitelt adopt.

What aggravates me the most, and I truly don't understand it, is the need for that biological child, where couples and individuals will spend all sorts of money and time and have all sorts of procedures done, and screw around with hormones, to have a biological child. THere are so many children out there who need homes -- ya want one bad enough -- adopt.
