Our daughter was a surprise baby, but I wouldn't change anything! I struggled when she was younger, but now that she's eleven (will be twelve in October) things have gotten a lot better. We're a very close family. Both my husband and I have anxiety disorders, and unfortunately she's inherited one herself, but we're able to help her. If she ends up developing my other dx we'll be able to help her through that.

Truthfully, she's an amazing girl! She's smart and funny and creative (an artist). I wasn't very happy in the beginning, but now I'm a very happy parent. I think it's a journey worth taking at least once. I have no regrets regarding becoming a parent. It's hard, but it's amazing!

It's up to you though. It's hard when they're younger.
