		<description>it does seem to be this way in the office and in the hood.  i think it's "weird", but proper, to just have sex to make a baby, lol.  the "mistakes" are the ones that produce like rabbits.  some people stand on their head to have kids and end up with just a headache.</description>

		<description>She's a total mess and it is odd that people who really want kids can't and the ones that don't pop them out like a factory.  Maybe the people having the problems want it too much and have created a system that's too intricate to reproduce.  Of course some people have bad "pluming" as well.  All in all, I hope they get what they want and raise wonderful famalies.</description>

		<description>I also know people who long for children. Some neighbors of mine are so ecstatic to finally have their little girl. They adopted her from Asia. They happen to be Asian as well but I don't get that this was what they were all about. They look to be great parents, just all "ooey gooey" and their little girl, well, she's adorable. 

Maybe it's because most people I know are having their children later (mid-late 30s) but they all seem to be very happy to have them.

I am not sure why people in the hood seem to be so much more fertile than people in the office. Well, there is the fact that women ARE much more fertile at oh, 15 than say, 28! I've read that no matter how many advances we have with extending a woman's reproductive years, the reality is that around age 28, women's fertility (hormone levels) are dropping. 

It could be a numbers game as well. Maybe people in the office are not only older but are not having as much sex (too tired, too stressed, who knows).

When it comes to women like B. Spears, I always wonder if they are having babies to fill in an inner emptiness. I've met a few woman who really want children and they are so needy and insecure, I feel a bit glad that they are not mothers. If you want to have a baby to be some source of unconditional love, try getting a dog instead.</description>

		<description>I gotta feel you on this one.  I'm not a parent but my family has adopted a young boy from a friend of my sister who after giving birth decided it wasn't for her.  WHAT?! A little late.  He's the most charming little 22 month old alive and he's not wanted by either of his parents.  

Although my mom and sister technically aren't his mother...they are.  They perform that role.  I've only got one mom in this world but so many mothers and thankful for each and every one. 

Salute all you Moms out there.</description>
