Children are a blessing from God, at least in my humble opinion. Are they always easy? No way! When you have the maternal instinct, and recognize the joy of bringing new life into this world, no smelly diaper or throw up is going to discourage you! When you hear the first word, watch you baby sit up for the first time, and take that first step, it is an awesome experience!!!!! It is just as joyous to watch your child learn and grow, and experience new things. My child, thankfully, has a love for life, and she dives into everything made available to her! She hasn't been as successful at some than others, but that is the whole reason to give her the opportunity to experience as much as possible so that she can make these decisions.

Would CF mean "child free", I Love Reptiles? It is not an abbreviation that I am familiar with. I respect your decision to not have children, but I also hope and pray that others in your situation will take the time and energy to ensure that they won't be bringing unwanted life into this world, not by abortion, but by other birth control methods, as you did. I am certainly not condemning your decision, but am applauding you for taking a responsible approach when you reached your decision.
