For Sarah McClelland-Brown and her husband, the decision of when to have a child wasn’t a simple one.
When she was 25, and just three weeks before completing her master’s degree, she met, Jon Brown,who would become her husband.
Now 30, she is a mother and a pastor. Her husband also is a minister.
McClelland-Brown said finances, education and communication played roles in their child-rearing decisions.
“Personally, I wanted to be done with my ordination process,” she said. “It is later, but I needed to finish school first.”
After she got married, McClelland-Brown and her husband waited a while before having kids. They wanted to take some time to further establish their relationship as a married couple and develop their communication skills before having kids.
