So, I'm 31 and I have a beautiful 4 year old son who was very much planned. Since he was born I knew that I never wanted to have another. Suffice to say that I am certain and my husband is supporting that decision. We will however consider adoption in the years following the completion of my degree as it is something we have talked about and would mutually like to do. My son is a content little boy who has a great deal of interaction with other children, particularly his cousin of the same age.
So anyway, from a creation point of view I am certain about sterilisation. I have tried the pill, implant and coil and none of which have been successful for different reasons, so this strengthens my decision. I am not a particularly religious person, however my only apprehension shall we say, is that this is an action that will be effectively interfering with nature. Does that make sense?
I am now certain I want to go through with it. My husband has a deteriorating back condition which would make it almost impossible for him to raise another baby. The fact that he is now supporting my decision is a combination of this consideration and my obstinacy.
We shall consider fostering in the future Cathfromsaron, thanks
