People in their 40s and 50s with no children, how does it feel?

I see what my friends have with their kids and grandkids now, and really wish I had people that care for me that much. Honestly, it’s kinda gotten to where I don’t want to go to events because it just reminds me of how that chance is lost now.

I know someone who adopted a grandmother at some random point in life.

Never too late to adopt! I know a couple in their 50s/60s who adopted and are loving it
