Takeaways & Tidbits Vol. 10

Everyone's journey is different and I have nothing to say about how and when someone decides to become a mother.  The legacy of my generation will be that we have truly expanded the idea of what "family" means.  It is no longer unusual for people who choose surrogacy, gay adoption, IVF, international and domestic adoption, fostering and childlessness to live side by side and quietly judge each other.  We can all live in peace thinking our way is the best way and everything else is cuckoo.
