The fact that you hold two degrees should tell you that you are intelligent enough to do the things you want to. As far as graduate school, I doubt your professors would urge you to go for that if they had doubts about your ability to attain your goal. When it comes to deciding what to do about it, ask yourself, am I wanting a master's degree to prove something, or because its something that I am intersested in and it might give me more skills to work with? Usually the answer is in the question.

Can you be a good mother? If you can love a child, you can be a good mother. Many parents are unsure or wonder if they are making mistakes with the way they are bringing up a child. You can only do what you think is right, and yes, you will make some mistakes. As long as you have the child's needs in mind, both physical and emotional, and love the child, you will be a fine mother. It is a big step and worrying some about how you will do is normal.

If you were to see someone else who had achieved two degrees, was thinking of graduate school, and was going to adopt the children, would you think they weren't good enough? Give yourself the same courtesy you would give someone else in your position. My guess is you would think the person was intelligent and compassionate.

Congratulations on your pending adoptions!
