I'm an only and wanted siblings. My mother tried several times, but couldn't carry. She wanted a large family.
My DD is an only and wishes she had siblings, but there were none. Some onlies are happy and some wish things could be different. Some with sibs wish they had been an only.

The Catholic church teaches that a child is a gift from God that is the result of a se~xual relationship. They don't want people to use technology to create a child. The fact that some people cannot be biological parents is a fact the church thinks people just need to learn to deal with.

On 6/2/2014 PurpleBunny said: A gestational carrier (GC) is not a “surrogate”, as a surrogate is someone who donates her egg and then subsequently carries the child. In the case of a gestational carrier, the woman carrying the pregnancy is in no way biologically or genetically related to the child she is carrying- she is merely providing a nurturing environment in the form of a uterus for the child to grow for the gestational period of 40 weeks. The eggs and sperm are derived from the “intended parents” (or egg donor, or sperm donor), through the process of In Vitro Fertilization, fertilized in the lab, and then the embryo (or embryos) are placed into the uterus of the gestational carrier.
Thank you. I didn't know the difference at first either when G&B used the term. I had to Google it.

I agree as well!

Every person I know who is an only child wishes he/she had siblings. DH always wished he had a brother or sister.
The difficulty is also felt as parents get old and need help and there is only one child to care for them.

I really don't know much about either one of them, but I recall seeing Giulianna on the View when they were trying to conceive saying the doctors told her it would be helpful if she gained 5 lbs. She was unwilling to do this because of her career. This spoke volumes to me.

You/he are so right about that. I've had to help my mother with my grandfather and then my grandmother and now I'm all she has. DH has two brothers and a sister and when they had to help with his mother it took all of us. His uncle now needs all of us as well as his dad.
