I resent the fact that HUgh Hefner in his 80's can start to have a family tis year with his 24 year old girlfriend and no one bats an eye but when its a women with noo fault of her own without even looking at how many children are raised by grand parents and great grand parents everyday because some drug addicted or unfit parent brings a child into this world I am 49 and due to circumstanstaces had to raise my sisters children and others I had endometriosis and even thought there is no scare tissue the doctor I went to sould have done INF andkept me hanging on for 5 years I will not pass up this chance when men do tis everyday. this is sexism at its worse when science is catching up so we can almost be equal on this field and I truly greatful for the male and female pioneers who realize sometimes younger doesn't make the bettr parent sometimes when your younger you are much more selfish and knowledge and patience with love is a winning combination abouve all else
