Kathy Jo,

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.

Linda
