I just wanted to clear up an error in the article "Childless by choice" written by Malena Lott (April 7, 2010, Oklahoma Gazette). The correct term for people who choose to not have children is "childfree." The term "childless" implies that something is missing, but those who have decided to be child-free do not see themselves as missing anything. We simply choose a different path for our lives and, as a result, have a different set of opportunities.
