I'm a 24 y/o student (currently on hiatus), I also work FT at the local hospital here in Tampa. I'm single, with NO human babies, but I do consider my one dog, Picasso, just like a son :)
Honey, this is a personal journey and every single person make their decisions for different reasons. Whatever you feel is best for your health conditions, emotional, and everything else in between is totally your choice to make.
