i am not planning anything. like even if i was planning, it wouldn't work out to my benefit, it never does.


my special GC friend won't marry me because i can't have kids. i was trying to point out that we could always adopt. i have a feeling he wouldn't ever want to adopt, but maybe if i pushed the poor little cypriot kids thing, i have no problem with adopting some kids. i always wanted kids, i just would never have any without a partner.

GG there are few reasons why women cannot have children these days.

Have you explored all possibilities?

i had a hysterectomy some years ago, so i am pretty sure there is no possible way i can give birth. i am aware of surogate parenting, which is an option. i was just thinking about ways to fulfill my special friend's wish to have children. but i guess once again, forces work against me. story of my life......

Hysterectomies suck ..... too many (male) surgeons opt for them at the drop of a hat ...... still no point crying over spilled milk ....... friends of mine adopted much needed Chinese girl ..... if your GC friend is not willing to go down the road of adoption ..... then forget him as the important thing is to do something together, like raise a child ... and it should be insignificant where that child came from..

Good luck GG

Sometimes yes, but the reality is different, I, for example, want to have my child not some adopted one, if you know what I mean. And I think everybody at some moment in their life, the moment when they are thinking about children, they are thinking about their own.
Probably people that cannot have children are the first to think about adoption.

Anyway, the idea is that someone that doesn't go in the same direction as you is a lost of time. There are a lot of guys on this f***ing planet, so, choose one that goes your way.

there are more women than men on this planet. therefor, some of the women will be left without a man. i am close to being that woman. it's OK if i am, i am lucky to be totally self sufficient (thanks to my parents!).
as for children, sure i wanted one of my own. it's a miracle to have a baby in your belly one day, and then out the next. but ever since i was small i always wanted to adopt as well, or at least foster.
i have a hell of alot of motherly instincta, and alot of love inside me to give out. right now, i give it to the pets i own and the ones i care for in my career. the man who gets me, would be one lucky man! i know of one who is worthy of it. now if he would only wake up!

Dear GorillaGal,

Firstly, to answer your question about orphanages in Cyprus, there is at least one orphanage located in Nicosia (capital of Cyprus) called SOS Children’s Village International. (http://www.sos-childrensvillages.org/).

Secondly, being a high-income country, Cyprus’ per capita income ranged from about US $10,000 to more than US $20,000 annually (statistics recorded in 2002 so today’s annual per capita has increased). Therefore, being a high-income society, Cyprus has ‘an industrial capacity that generates, on average, a rich material life for its people’.
Due to high standards of living, it will be extremely difficult to find anyone suffering from absolute poverty (the lack of resources that are essential for life). You will however be able to find relative poverty (the lack of things that others in a society take for granted), especially among the elderly, single mothers and displaced persons (people who became homeless in their own land, a result of the Turkish invasion in 1974).

Kind regards,
Yeah Whatever!

P.S. That was an interesting question! 

thank you for taking the time to answer. i am suprised at the per capita income. to me, that is poverty level.

Per capita income is the total income generated divided by the total number of the population. Cyprus is about 90 per cent of the EU average and about 80 per cent of USA per capita income. It is not the actual salary earned by the average person! So do not pity the Cypriots. There are othe countries with per capita income of 100 dollars, look to them and make a real difference.

That's right, and the stats quoted seem out of date; it should be more like 23k alongside Israel.

so that is divided amongst every man, woman and child, weather working or not? i always thought the per capita was more of an average of those that are pulling incomes.
still seems pretty low. in 1999, my city's per capital income was over $31,900, with a household per capita income of over $55,500.
