Only you can answer this question Sweetie! I've been a mom for 27 years now, still have young kids at home, and I'm in my 40s! With the way things are going in the nation today, if I were in your position, I would probably get established in a career, own a home, prepare by learning/practicing tolerance and patience. You are still very young, enjoy being and developing who you are before sharing yourself with a new baby! Life will be completely different once you have children. I am not trying to discourage you, just giving you some things to think about. I couldn't be a happier person, but I've had children in my home since I was only 18. One day though, I'll have the house to myself and won't know what to do with myself...

If you have to ask, you are not ready!?
AND.. if you really THINK about it, you will Never be ready!!
You should know it is the most difficult job on the planet.. except for maybe full-time step-parenting...
It is a huge commitment, and most of it is NOT fun. Everyone talks about the joy of parenting, while it is joyful, the hardships are intense, not talked about, and more difficult than you could possibly imagine.
My advise is know who you are, be sound financially, have the time to commit your heart and soul, have a support network. The saying "It takes a village to raise a child." is really true, the more support you have, the better you and the child will be.
Good luck, remember this is not something you do lightly, it is a lifelong job.

There is never a perfect time to have a child. If you search for the perfect time you will spend your whole life waiting for that perfect moment.
Children are work and responsibility , that never changes. It all depends on the person. I think children bring out the better in most people.
Im 50 years old had my first child at 22. It was a hard time for us but Im glad we had kids early , they take so much energy.

When you feel ready to support and love a child. Support being the key word there.

It varies for different people. You have to find the right time for you... As for me....
I had my first child @ 24. For me the right time was after I finished college, started my career & married....
