    I'm undecided on the idea. Not sure if I could even handle taking care of a kid, or even know how to anyway.

    I would like to adopt kids in poverty or a war stricken location. I have no desire to give birth and feel all that pain when I could save a life and feel none. Especially, considering my boyfriend cannot reproduce.

    Yeah, I think I would. I always see myself having a family. Not exactly sure how that will happen, but it's something I would like :slight_smile: Taking care of a kid is something every parent learns--I'm sure I'd be able to be good at it :slight_smile:

    I'm gay. One of the perks of being gay is not having kids.

    Probably not. I don't mind older kids, but little kids are too loud, annoying and you can't interact with them like normal people.. you have to talk to them like dogs.

    Possibly, leaning more towards yes than no. I think the main reward would come after their childhood, though. It could feel like a wasted investment of time, energy and love if they turned out unsatisfactorily.

    I have a nagging fear that I'd expect only the very best from them and couldn't deal with anything less, which could make for very bad parenting.

    I'm still undecided...like I, personally don't think I'd be able to give birth myself. But perhaps adoption or if my partner is able and willing to go through the birthing process, then maybe.

    I don't know...I'd probably be the worrywart parent haha

    Possibly. I mean, if my partner want to then we might adopt or find a surrogate mother. But for me, I really want to have a daughter and a son

    Well, I would want to see what my partner would want, but I know that I would love to have children (notice the plural :lol:slight_smile:! Sure, they might get to that crazy "I'm going to die if they don't shut up" phase, but I've always wanted to raise a child and help them get to wherever they want to go in life! I dunno, maybe I'm weird, but I want to be a parent someday (shameless plug, I think I would be an awesome parent :lol:frowning2:!) )

    Mmm, nope. Nopity nope, nope. No.

    If my future wife wanted them... maybe. But I'm never getting pregnant. No. Adoption? Sure. If I did ever have kids, that's the route I'd prefer to go. No problems of 'your kid' vs 'my kid' and all that.

    Mostly, I just don't want them *now.* And at this point in my life, I can't see that changing. Being the fun aunt sounds SO much better.

    The older I get, the more open to it I am... If anything, just one. And not for a while.

    I'd love to have children one day. Adoption or surrogacy. I do find kids annoying right now, but if it were mine, I'm sure my heart would melt like butter.

    Yes I want kids!! My brother and his wife have a daughter who will be two in a few months. I've been pretty much their regular babysitter when they travel for work or need a night off, and all that babysitting makes me realize that I really do want to be a mom. My neice is a major cutie :slight_smile: It's fun to watch her, to pretend to be a kid again while playing with her, and to see every little step she takes.

    But that can wait at least a few years and that's not something I'm looking for in terms of relationsh compatability. I need to figure out me first.

    Just dreamed about a kid this morning, it was a girl and she was attracted to me. I do want to be a dad someday...and I would be awesome at parenting.
