You should strive not to be anything you cannot be proud of. So it is good to be a proud non-breeder if that is how it makes you feel. Hopefully she is just as proud being a mom.

I found this part fascinating

    My own transformation didn’t begin with an unbidden outbreak of baby lust or a sudden longing for domesticity. It began, weirdly enough, when I learned about corpses becoming fathers. In 2011, I reported a piece for Tablet Magazine about the strange Israeli campaign for posthumous reproduction.

I had no idea this was a thing.
