I considered fostering and adopting as a single parent, but I don't believe I would have the energy for it. Also, daycare is pretty expensive, a lot more than the $300 a month you now get from the government. I understand wanting to be financially stable first. I think I could handle being an aunt or godmother.

Thank you for your wisdom.
After getting this stuff out last night, I felt better. And more clear. I decided to continue with the class. There are interesting parts to it, and I will find out if its right for me.
I misspoke, also, about wanting kids. I sounded so sure about that in my OP but the truth is, I was feeling really alone and purposeless. I'm happy to be the awesome Aunt and to volunteer with kids.
I agree that sometimes you have to go the practical route regarding jobs, too. Something that pays the bills - fulfillment outside work sounds great to me. Thank you for this reminder.
