parenting options Quotes

I love that Tom Daley's talking about surrogacy.

I definitely thought about it long and hard, about if I wanted to keep the baby or not, and I wasn't thinking about adoption. I do think every woman should have the right to do what they want, but I don't think it's talked through enough. I can't even tell you how many people just say, 'Oh, get an abortion.' Like it's not a big deal.

One day, a pretty, fresh-faced young lady - intelligent and sincerely concerned - asked me if abortion wasn't preferable to making a young, unmarried girl have a baby she didn't want and which would, therefore, grow up unloved and probably turn out to be a criminal. I gave an answer which apparently she hadn't considered. I told her there were literally millions of people in this country who wanted but could not have children and who waited eagerly, sometimes for years, to adopt the baby she had described.

Adoption is a global issue these days - it's certainly current - and it's encouraging for a lot of couples whether they're straight or gay.

If I did have the impulse to be a parent, I would adopt - or foster.

For a couple that wants to have a child, there's the option of IVF, but then have a look at adoption as well.

I happen to think that there are already tons of perfectly good babies out there already born.

There's no right way to be female or female-identifying. You can love clothes or you cannot love clothes. You can be a stay-at-home mom or you can have a career. You can do both. You can choose to have kids you can choose to not have kids.

We'll have a kid or maybe we'll rent one. He's got to be straight, we don't want a bent one.
