You can be pregnant, sure, and many, many of us have had or will have that amazing experience. But as JayGirlsMom recently pointed out here, there are lots of ways a mom-to-be can be "expecting" a child.
Adoption and surrogracy (please note: these are communities surrounding them here on CafeMom) have already been mentioned by a few of you -- in addition to pregnancy, of course -- as things you've experienced or may experience in the future. And all of them are about being on a path to motherhood.
What do you think? Are adoption or surrogacy things that you might consider in the future?

YES, WE HOPE TO ADOPT AGAIN. BUT YOU JUST NEVER KNOW WHAT WILL COME YOUR WAY!
WE WOULD LOVE TO ADOPT AN EMBRYO, AND THAT WAY I COULD EXPERIENCE BEING PREGNANT, ALSO. SO, WHO KNOWS, WITH ALL THE DIFFERENT WAYS TO MAKE A FAMILY~ =-) WHO KNOWS WHICH WAY WE WILL BE LED!
I would LOVE to adopt many children someday! We are lower income, though, and can't imagine covering all the fees and costs--- It's frustrating to know there are perfect babies wanting a home. Because it's not attainable, financially, I just try to put it all out of my mind. This reminder has brought sunshine to my heart, though. Thank you!!! I will keep up my hope.
