Welcome to SR.
Some very savvy things have been suggested to you.

I suspect you're concerned about your age and how that may impact your ability to have a child. For the sake of the potential child, give it time. Slow down. Things can become far more complicated than you can even imagine.

My son is 20 months old and born to an Alcoholic mother. She also felt the need to have a child immediately because she was getting "old". The allure, fantasy, and excitement of having a family in some dreamy short lived relationship is a gamble I wish I never took. She drank more than what I thought was normal before we got married but I had not idea how deep the rabbit hole went. Please don't misunderstand me. I love my son more than I can describe. I just wish he had a different mother.

If I had the chance to do things differently, would I? It's difficult to say because I have a kid now but I sure would have slowed down. If the writing is on the wall, it's on the wall. Read it and understand it before you proceed.
