I know this is an individual decision but I'm a mid 20s professional with a graduate degree. Can this be my right time? I'm starting to have the desire to be a mother.

First, you need to be married so the baby will have stability in important areas like - legality, finances and emotional and spiritual wellbeing.
Secondly, you want to be sure this baby will get the best care possible - that means a full-time mother, so if you're in love with your career and want to go at it full-time, then put your baby dreams aside for a while.
Becoming a mother requires sacrifices and having the desire is only the first part.
I hope you will be ready soon - every one is a blessing!

When you and your partner agree that you are ready and able to make the commitment and sacrifices that come along with a baby. That could be in your 20s, 30s, or 40s.
IMO you don't need to be married if you know your partner well enough and are in a strong committed relationship. Having a marriage license never has been proven to make someone a better parent or raise healthier children. The relationship is the core of what's important, not the ceremony and legal paperwork.

Well it all depends on you. If you feel like you are ready and thought everything that having a baby entails then go ahead. Are you in a serious relationship or do you want to do this on your own?

Personally I think the best time is when you are with someone you can imagine spending your whole life with, both partners want a child, and you are financially secure.

When you're married or in a very long term relationship, and when your financially and mentally stable.

When you can provide a loving home and stable family for the child. When you're married.

After marriage is always the best time to begin.
