Q: Does Anyone Have Any Suggestions??

I have a question for anyone. I am 34 and single. No kids and never married. All I want is to be a wife and mother. I have health issues that make me not feel well most of the time and have been told I may not be able to get pregnant and if I do I prob will miscarry. Needless to say im scared to get pregnant and even more scared of it never happening. I wanted to wait for mr. Wonderful and its not looking so good!! I have no family except a neice who is having a baby girl soon. I wanted so much to be there for her birth but, she is having a c section and im not allowed. I dont have the funds to go to school to be a mid wife. Ive always been amazed and interested in the birthing process and my not knowing if I will ever have a baby want to attend a birth. I dont know if there is people out there locally (long island n.Y.) who are alone or need a coach? Does anyone have any suggestions? :?:

My sugesstion why not volunteer to work in a teen mom shelter, offer your service or maybe even adopt, there is so many things you can do nowadays.


Everybody needs volunteer and at the sametime your contributing to society, I always believe if you offer what you do best or think you do best it would make you a great person as well you are mentally/socially satisfied.

Adopting is a great thing as well, you get to raise a child who is not your own but you become their mother because you are the one who teaches them moral, who teaches them day to day living.

I agree with .Jess. Adoption would be ideal. That way you get what you really want, and a little person gets the home they need.
I have thought about adopting as well. I have a 6 month old, but I have always wanted to give a needy baby/child a loving home.

Thanks For Suggestions
Thank you for your response. I cannot afford adoption. People would place a baby with two parents over a single woman. Again the fiancial of adoption is impossible. Does anyone know of a person who could use my help???

People will gladly give you a child to adopt even though you're a single woman. That doesn't mean you're inadequate. If you cannot afford adoption, you would not be able to afford having your own child. Not to be rude. Just saying.

I'm not sure if anyone is from your area that could use help, but keep searching. Good luck!

Thanks!!
I can afford to have a child in regards to takeing care of him or her but, the amount of money it takes to adopt or have a surrogate I cant do. I also am thinking of having a baby by a donor see if it works. That to do for 1 try nooo guarantees is $2000.00 thats a gamble when money is tight but, id be willing im just so unsure of being everyone to my baby. Mommy, daddy, grandparents, aunts, uncles I have just a neice and her soon to be girl shes having. My parents are deceased as well as my grandparents. I have a few close friends who will be involved but, most of them dont live near me. With me having no family and my baby not having a daddy or his family I feel is that wrong of me?? Is my wanting a baby sooooo much and my being almost 35 years old being selfish given my situation??? Im not a kid wanting a kid. Im a fully grown adult who wants to be a mommy. I will then be single and alone and pregnant. My friend will be my birth coach but, ofcouse id like it to be my husband. My reason for posting this to begin with was to see if there was anyone near me who is alone needs help and a coach. I really am interested in the birthing process and if someone is alone they shouldnt be in that moment of a miracle. If god intends on me not being able to carry a baby(not sure yet) then my helping someone would be wonderful. People always need good people in there lives and someone who understands and who can help. When someone gets cancer they can call a church to find a person who they dont kbow for a ride to the doctors. Im just seeing if anyone need help and in helping her it would fill me up as well. Somebody has to know of someone right??

I think you might be going about this the wrong way. No disrespect, but asking a bunch of strangers on the internet if they know of anyone who would trust you (another stranger on the internet) to be their birthing coach when you have no qualifications is a bit of a long shot.


Perhaps you could volunteer at your local hospital?
