Why do you want to do this?

Since I was a little girl I always knew I was going to be a mother. Unfortunately my life path has travelled away from that... though I think about it regularly. Whether it is through adoption, surrogacy, or being lucky enough to naturally have my own child, I truly don't care. I just want to make a difference in the life of a child.

What three things will you need to make this happen?

Money - either to adopt or for IVF. As I was never able to have children earlier these are most likely my only options.

Home - a place of my own where I can support and help a child(ren) thrive

Support - it takes a village to raise a child. I would love to have a significant other assist me in raising my child(ren); though I don't believe I HAVE to have someone co-parent.

What is the biggest barrier to your achieving this?

Being in a place where a child is welcome. My current home life is detrimental to even the thought of a child.

Hello Katey, this is an amazing goal and it's so nice that you're actually planning on becoming a mother, whether that's to happen in the near future or a little ways down your life's path, one way or the other, I'm sure you'll be incredible at it.  There really is nothing comparable to sharing the love of a child.  Wishing you all the best on your journey to motherhood.  One thing that helped me along my own path was journalling my feelings about becoming a mom.  Do you think that's something you might be interested in too?
