We have 2 kids in elementary school and feel like things are well in hand, for the most part. I felt for a couple of years that our family is complete. I’m in my early 40s, and now feel a tug of wanting to expand our family (maybe through birth but also maybe through adoption). Have any older moms continued their family after thinking they were done? What was your experience?

They say: you’ll never regret having your baby once they’re here and in your arms, but you may always regret never having the baby you thought about. Whoever “they” are lol but this has stuck with me. 10 years from now- would you smile if you had another little face at your table, even if it came with some sacrifice? If you at all think you would want another baby, I say go for it! My mom is a dr. and took care of a little baby boy in the ER 33 years ago who was in foster care. She thought about adopting him, but wasn’t sure about having another baby because she already had 3. You know what? She still talks about him every 6 months or so and wishes she had had her “fourth child” as she calls him.

Both me and my husband are middle children with the youngest being 6-8 years younger than us. Both of our parents were still able to do all the “parent” things, and I actually think they were able to be around more for the youngest because they were further along in their careers. The age gap is fun and the older kids can usually help a bit. If YOU feel like it’s right, do it!

My father took a home loan, and the same home is kept as mortgage.
I'm paying arround 22k emi for the same but unable to exempt tax as the loan is on my father's name.

I googled a lot how to transfer it but neither gift deed nor sale deed would work as the property is on mortgage that's under bank's ownership (until loan is fulfilled).
Tax is also getting deducted, I'm paying hefty emis.
What can I do?
Please advise 🙂
