I didn’t go through IVF or adoption, and somehow managed to give birth at 41. It was hard. My body was barely up to it, but we made it. My son is now 34 struggling with unemployment and on the edge of homelessness. With the economy the way it is -- and politics, of course – I’m scared for him and I can only help so much. These are things you don’t expect when you hold a newborn. Beautiful essay, thank you, and I am so happy you made that decision.
