Nope, I wasn't even close to planned. In fact, I was nearly nearly aborted. I was the result of a teenage pregnancy (16, to be exact), so it's kind of weird having a biological mother that isn't even 40 years old at this point. Not that I see her anyway. Fortunately my aunt (who adopted me), convinced my biological mother not to go through with the abortion. Which is kind of terrifying to think about - that I could have ceased to exist prior to leaving the womb. Outside of that though, it doesn't affect me on a daily basis, and the family that I have has never regretted the decision.
