Hi Michael, Thank you for the kind words. Right now, the only turmoil we are going thru is my sons immaturity. He is 14yr old and acts like he is 8. He is very intelligent but you would not know it unless you knew him. This is very disheartening to my husband and myself. our family can't understand why this is happening. I am hoping he will eventually catch up to his age maturity wise. Any thoughts?    Lori

Yes, yes, and yes...Many of us on the list are living examples of people
with CP living on our own, married and with children.

I, for one, have the first two and now am working on the children part...I
just got married in November, but am turning 32 on Monday so my husband and
I don't want to wait to have kids. It's all up to mother nature and the
good Lord now.

Make goals for yourself and take steps to reach them. You can achieve
whatever you set your mind to if you are willing to work long and hard to
get to the goal.
