What decision are you glad you never made?

Asked by jonsblond (43759points) March 26th, 2011

I was 20 when I met my husband and we started dating immediately. He had been in an accident in his teens, and his doctor told him he’d never have biological children, so we didn’t use protection once we had sex. I was surprised when I found out I was pregnant 5 months into our relationship.

My immediate thought was abortion. We were both 20, working for minimum wage, living at my parent’s house. How could we possibly do this? My husband was an adopted child. His immediate response was “Let’s do this”. I agreed.

We did it. It was hard, but we now have an 18 year old honor student in college, along with two other miracle children. I can honestly say I didn’t take the easy way out of the situation.
