I love children! 13 months ago

I started, as probably most girls did, as a mother of some baby dolls. My mother always said to me that I was a very considerately doll mother. I began babysitting when I was eleven years old. Now I’m twice that age, have learnt a lot about children (I made, among other things, an education as a nursery school teacher, which I didn’t finish – however, it’s got nothing to with the children) and though I love children and, besides having my own, intend to adopt some, I’m not ready to have children yet. There is so much I need to do first. It’ll take some years before I can make an attempt; let alone that I’ll, obviously, need I boyfriend ;-) But if I can offer my future children a better life by doing first thing first, I’m happy. Have already decided on names, though ^^
