Was Motherhood Always in Your Future?

I always knew I wanted to be a mom - even in my '20s when I was a wild and crazy gal in New York City. I had one friend who swore off any notion of motherhood during our high school years and then 15 years later went through intensive fertility treatments to become pregnant. Life can throw people for a loop and what was once a far fetched idea becomes an obsession.

Cameron Diaz, 37, recently revealed her lack of plans in an interview with Parade. She said:

I'm not somebody who is going to declare either way if I'm absolutely going to or I'm absolutely not going to have children. I have no idea... I'm still young. I have an unbelievable life. In some ways, I have the life that I have because I don't have children.... I don't think it's a compromise to have children. Everything I'm bringing into my life right now isn't geared toward that. It might be one day.

Many women feel like that and then their biological clock ticks and they start yearning for youngsters. What happened in your case?

My Sister's Keeper: As a Mom What Would You Do?

LilSugar — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 08:00:09 -0700

My Sister's Keeper is a must see for mothers. Bring a box of tissues and prepare to empty your tear ducts during the entire experience. Unlike most films that escalate this one puts a lump into your throat just moments after starting. Cameron Diaz plays a pretty convincing Sara Fitzgerald, an attorney and mother of two who finds out her young daughter, Kate (Sofia Vassilieva), has cancer and her slightly older son, Jesse (Evan Ellingson), is not a donor match. So to save the child's life, Sara and her husband, Brian (Jason Patric) genetically conceive another baby, Anna (Abigail Breslin).

After eleven years of surgery and of donating body parts to her older sister, Anna hires a lawyer and sues her parents for the right to her own body. Sara is torn between the love she has for all her kids and the need to keep Kate (who needs a kidney) alive. It's hard to digest the tearjerker, and the powerful scenes played out at times with just looks between characters and not feel their pain, their confusion and love, and wonder as a parent what you would do. If you found out your child were terminally ill, would you genetically engineer another to save his or her life?
