Thats what I was thinking to unless you open to the idea of adopting.

i think it depends on the woman's body and how fit she is but I wouldn't have children past the age of 45. That is when I'd close up the shop.

I disagree.  There IS a time when it's too late to have kids...namely, if you're at the age where you might be dead by the time they graduate high school.

Over 35 for women is flirting with birth defects and health risks.
"It is far better to grasp the universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring."

I wouldnt have one past 40.  The chances of birth defects increase greatly, though my MIL had her last kid at 48 and had no problems.

True, but the risk is still there.

I had my first child at 30 and my last child at 40.  I was more tired during my last pregnancy, but can't imagine life without my little guy.

Young parents die too.  My ex bf lost both patents by the time he was 12 and they didn't have him when they were old.  Nothing is guaranteed.

Rule of thumb: You shouldn't be a senior citizen when the kid graduates high school!!!
