Single parent, but I want another baby
I'm a single parent to an almost 3 year old, and I would love to have another child. I just don't know how to go about it. I'm not really interested in having a partner, or waiting around for "Mr. Right" to show up at my door. I'm not about to just go out and get pregnant by some random person (obviously). Adoption is too expensive, and as I move around so much for my job, I would never make it to the top of a provincial list. The easiest way, I think, would for me to have another baby.
I'm 25, and am planning on retiring in 20 years, and I have always felt that I wanted to be an empty-nester by the time I'm retired. I know this sounds selfish, but that's just the way I've planned my life. I make enough money to support me, my daughter, and another child easily.
Am I being crazy? Should I just give up on having another baby? Or wait around for Mr. Right to come sweep me off my feet?
