When my wife and I are trying to have a child struggling, we resigned ourselves to a process of artificial insemination it was hard for us to hear. The doctor offered us a great question to chew on.

“Is it more important to you to be parents were to have a baby?”

Although that part of the process did not work, we ultimately became parents by adopting our son. We decided to is more important to be parents.

For some of you, there is a price you’ll have to pay for what you want to achieve.

You may have to go back to school.

You may have to take out student loans.

You may have to work and study and work some more to get to where you want to get to.

You may have to work harder than anyone you know.

There will always be critics who will question why you are doing all of this.

But you have answered the question for yourself, just like we did.

The question may be formulated a little bit differently because we are not dealing with parenting.

It is your question and don’t look back. Leave the doubters behind. They want company in their misery and you want something different.
