Okay I'm a seventeen year old (turning eighteen soon) girl who is a virgin that wants twin baby girls.I'm still in High school (ninth grade)and I was just wondering can I find a doctor to inject sperm into me? Or is that illegal in New York?
Furthermore, you said you haven't even finished high school yet. Do you really think you can raise two kids without so much as a high school diploma, as a single parent? DO you think that, at 18, you have enough life experience to raise a child? And are you ready to give your life up? You're so young; once you have kids, life isn't about you anymore. You have to make all your choices based on what's best for them. Are you sure that's best?
This isn't an adult berating a child for their stupid ideas. This is a teenager asking another teenager to rethink their decision. I'm 19, and though I've wondered what it'd be like to have kids, even fantasized about it, it doesn't mean I'm in any way ready. And I'm still not done with MY life; I still want to go to college, get a job, travel the world, etc. before I'm ready to settle down and worry about changing diapers and putting off money for their college fund.
So please, PLEASE, think about it. Maybe you're better off waiting until you can provide for a good life for both you and your family.
And, I know that at 18, you feel 100% independent and grown up, but you're NOT. Believe it or not, your brain still hasn't finished developing yet (the frontal lobe, I believe, doesn't fully develop until your 20s). So give it a few years. What's the rush? You're young. And you never know, by the time you're 20, you may have changed enough to not want kids. If you still want a family,then go for it.

You can't choose the sex of your children... THAT is illegal. It's also impossible to guarantee that you would have two embryos implant at the same time.
adviceman49 answered Saturday January 29 2011, 8:59 am: It is not illegal, it is called artificial insemination. It is used quite often by doctors to aid women who have trouble conceiving naturally or who are using donor sperm because of one reason or another.
Given your age and High School grade level I would not recommend you getting pregnant at this time. You need to complete high school so you can find a good paying job to support your babies. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]
