I am 24 years old, and I very much want a child of my own. I have it in my head that if I never marry or "Find the right guy" at a certain age, that I want to try either AI or adoption. The problem with adoption is that it's such a long and lengthy thing, and that a lot of agencies would frown at a single woman adopting alone.
That's why I am leaning more towards the AI, not only would I have the thrill and feeling of being pregnant, that child would in a sense my MINE.
((I am in NO WAY saying that an adopted child wouldn't be, I know I'd love any child with all my heart))
I've never had sex before, and I'm still in the mindset that I'd like to save my first time to be with that "Special someone". But would that be a problem to become pregnant and give birth as a virgin?

I have/will never smoke or have done any drugs. I have drank but on very rare occasions.
I exercise moderately and I work very hard at my job.
