Hello. My name is Ashly, and I am only 16 years old. I am new to this support groups, but I'm hoping someone will talk to me about it..
My mother was a drug addict, and I was born with missing organs. I have one kidney, no appendix, and ... No uterus. I don't know how I'm supposed to feel. I feel worthless. Like I have no purpose being a woman. Actually, I don't even know of I am a woman, since I never had a period.. I go to a highschool full of pregnant girls my age, and can't help but be jealous.. Jealous that they have that amazing gift.. The gift of life. I just need to know, is there any way I can have kids when I'm older? A surrogate, or something? I need information, and maybe some form of motherly advice.. Can anyone help?...
Ashlyjay13 - stay strong sweetie, i cannot imagine what you are going through, but you are a woman, and don’t ever think you are less of one. When you are older and the time is right for you to have a family you can look into adoption as an option. i have many family members who are adopted and i know there are tons of children out there that need a home. About a surrogate, talk to your doctor about that and other options, they will be able to help you better in figuring that out. But stay strong and with time find peace in your situation and know that there are options for you. the amazing gift that you have is the desire to be a mother one day and i’m sure you will be an amazing one when you are older.
