Even though I am a lot older than you(59)I believe I have some understanding of your pain as my own daughter ,who is in her 30's is unable to have children now,because of circumstances beyond her control also.I have watched her journey and efforts,to become a Mum,from IVF to where she is now,which is on the adoption register.It is the only real thing she wants in life,to be a Mum,and as she is coming to realise now,there are many different avenues that can be taken,to become a parent.Not all of them mean that you will give birth,but there are many beautiful children out there,who desperately need parents, or a parent, to love them.My husband and I foster children,and we often see the joy that can come through this.So even though your dream is crushed,don't give up on it Ash.There are other ways to make it come true.xxxRobyn
