I have always wanted a family, and really wanted to meet that special someone to spend my life with--but it has not happened at this point. I really wanted children of my own as well. Now, I am 45 years old and never married--and I am wondering if it is too late? After all, if I met someone tomorrow, we got married within a year, and then had a child right away, at BEST I would be 47 with a newborn. Is that really fair to the child? Is it a good idea to have children where teenagers would have a parent in his 60s?
At this point, I have pretty much given up looking, and have resigned myself to the fact that I might never meet that person.
Is it wrong to give up and just stop looking?

I believe it might be better said as "Growing Up". I am 51 my baby is almost 17. She got a far different mother than my first born who is now 31. As we grow older our bodies produe less... of everthing! :) less hair, estogen, progesterone, in ur case the Y's...insilun, energy... I am not saying it is wrong to have a child now... who am I? I have no Idea of God's plan for ur life. I am thinking though that we all go through stages of life and each "stage" bring its own set of fears and desires. I may be entirely wrong here. I have found life to be a progressive process of "letting go". I have "let go" of dreams, loved ones, stuff and things... and at each stage I aquire new ones. More fitting to my age? Honestly looking I can say there have been hopes and desires that had very little to do with God's will in my life and far more about dressing up my ego. Oh yea... it was no problem to find ways to dress it all up and justify them as God's will... but, time brings more truth than one might care to face. Yep I have dreams alot are truly fantasy lol better for me to keep my Magnifying mind on the better question. How important is this anyway? Because the MOST important things in my life are to love and serve God as he chooses me to love and serve Him. Is it time for u to volunteer to help first graders read? I am sure ur parish needs help to teach the ccd classes... Is there a young woman alone in the church raising a family who has no Father and could use a serrogate? Hmm? Grandpa? Hmm?
