Welcome, Sara...
I am a reunited first mom (my son is 37 y/o). After surrendering my son, I married and had another son and a daughter, but my marriage went down the drain right before I gave birth to my daughter. I was a single parent for 16 years, and during that time I finished two college degrees.
My daughter became a single mom at the age of 28, and she is doing great. She became pregnant while attending college, but has continued her education and is in a teacher education program now (her son will be 3 y/o soon).
Being a good parent does not depend on the number of parents... it's quality, not quantity, that counts. I just wanted to ease your concern about a child having two parents. Some people feel very strongly about this, but my opinion is that the number of parents a child has is of little importance. To me, what matters most is love and commitment. Having loving and supportive family and friends helps a lot, though.
I'm sorry to hear of your medical problems, Sara... my thoughts will be with you.
Peace,
Susan
