The risks, the compromises, and struggle one may have while raising a child when the parent suffers from MIs is a gamble. It would be the most debatable and major decision in my life. I know in my heart, based on my past working and caring for children, I can accomplish being a decent mother. Though sometimes I second guess myself, in my heart I know I would love to either birth a child, adopt a child, or both.

And for those that chose not to have children; you are amazing for ignoring a human biological instinct. You guys are all awesome and though I want to ask how you felt about your own decision, I will just say I am so grateful that so many people stepped in to post their opinion about my friend. Thank you so much.
