Boulderbabe,
My reponse was actually to JoshsMom about returning to school at 38! I'm glad though that you think seminary is a snap with children.

I was a senior in college when my birthson was born... I made the choice to place him for adoption because I believed it was the best thing for him. It is a decision that is personal and I still believe it was best for him. I would simply encourage any single pregnant woman to make up her own mind as free as possible from coersion from either side.

Frankly, I have a very good idea of what med school is like. I was 5 when my father graduated from med school. (I'm the oldest of 4, Mom was pregnant with the 4th when Dad graduated med school) I was not saying that I thought med school was easy with an infant or even possible. I can think of some creative possiblities to make it work! It worked for my parents only because there were two of them. Even then it was not easy living on borrowed money, trying to study with 3 children in the apartment as well as provide for them. They made decisions and choices based on what was best for them and their family. That's really all any of us can do.
