I don't really understand that, why would you want to bring a child into the world and NOT give them every advantage possible....
WTF? Want to tell me how I am not giving my son EVERY advantage in life? I am college educated, with a professional degree, own my own home, have both an individual and company matched IRA (401k), a savings plan set up for my 7 month old son, more family support than alot of other people, not to mention the drive, ambition, will and determination to give my son even MORE than what I had.....

Illegitimate, 'out of wedlock', etc., are narrowminded, old-aged terms no longer considered appropriate.

It is one thing to cast aspersions on ONE person, but, to paint an entire group of people with such a broad brush is ridiculous. Single mommyhood is NOT a death sentence, or tsome lower socio-economic failing. It was my CHOICE.

What 'justification' do I need to bring a child into this world on my own?

Think before you type.
