Will - thank you for posting. I'll try to post health news as I come across it. If you see my most recent post, you'll see it's not always bad. And of course it's always weighed against the benefits of waiting. I know that if I had been a younger dad I could not have provided the maturity to be a good father nor the stability or financial security that I can provide my children now.

Thank you for spreading the word. We're pretty flexible about ages here. I was 37 when Sean was born, and pretty much everything I'm writing about still applies to my experience with him.
