i so want a family but discourse around families is too often framed starting from “woman carries child”, which doesn’t work for me & has far more nuance, as you outline

No, I was glad to. Thank you for sharing this. It hits very hard; I think anything around the subject of fertility and children does for me at this point. I hope we haven't been insensitive, inadvertently? I am so sorry if we have.
