I want to stay child-free... 21 Jul 2006
As the average age of the first time mother rises and the number of couples embarking on IVF increases, it might seem that everybody wants kids. We are used to hearing tales of women in their thirties and forties driven to distraction by the sound of their biological clocks. But of course not every child-free woman in her thirties is quite so desperate to have a baby.

Kapka Kassabova, writer, poet and traveller, explains why she is perfectly happy remaining child-free.
