I am 30yrs old and both my husband and I are not ready to have a child. He comes from a big family and played the role of parent to 3 of his siblings since he was 12 and stiil is at times since his dad is 73 and his mom works all the time. Secondly I have Endometriosis and don't want to go back to the pain I had before I was on the pill. I want to adopt later,mabe 35ish and have my marriage first and pay stuff off. My sister in law recently had a baby and is bugging me to get pregnant,she doesn't get it when i tell her 'not ready and can't',even when I tell her that I want to adopt she says 'There's nothing better then having your own'. That really hurts me because I know I can love an adopted child as much if I had my own. She even keeps telling me 'go for surgery' for my endometriosis. The point is I DON'T want to have my own,I choose to adopt and give the chance of a good life to another. How do I get it through her selfish head that it's not my time or choice to be pregnant?
