In 2014, having children is complicated and daunting and fraught - as much as it's always been, but now we're talking about it. And the more we talk about it, the more of us will realize that we're not going through it alone. Far from it.

I think it's really hard to understand the depths and the power of the love that someone has for their children unless you really have children.

I expected it to be overwhelming and all-encompassing, but having a kid brings you into the world in a whole different way.

Having children makes you see the world in a completely different way. When you're responsible for those little lives, you can't slough it off or forget about it until later.

I've always had a strong love and a sense of care for kids. And the one thing is evident and is so true - the kids are our future.

Yes, I want children and I can't wait to have that closeness with someone - to bring someone into the world. But, I really don't know when.

The moment you have a child, in an instant your life is not for you, and your life is completely, 100 percent dedicated to another human being, and they will always come first. It changes you forever. It changes your perspective, and it gives you a nice purpose and focus.

Having children is life-changing, to state the obvious. It's a gigantic shift in your life and I welcomed it.

I think that all of us either lose touch with the child inside us or try and hold onto it because it so precious to us and it's such an extraordinary part of our lives.

I never thought I'd have children; I never thought I'd be in love, I never thought I'd meet the right person. Having come from a broken home - you kind of accept that certain things feel like a fairy tale, and you just don't look for them.
