has anyone thought of having kids someday?

Something I posted in a similar(ish) thread earlier:

 

I have always known that I want kids... I dont love the idea of a sperm bank because I dont want the mystery involved. But I will have to wait and see what happens.

 

Yes.Adoption and surrogacy dont matter to me. Either way i would like to have a family. Plus I have my kids names already picked out!

 

I think I'll want kids

 

The thought of having my own kids is amazing and scary at the same time. I know the nights full of crying and messes to clean up will be worth it, but I do worry if I'd be a good father or not, and how my kids will turn out in the future as a result of me raising them.

Plus, my brother - the straight one - might not even want kids because of what might be wrong with them. My brother had testicular cancer (so he's one-balling it now), I had a lung issue last year that's apparently possibly genetic, and there's alcoholism in my dad's family. Oh, and can't forget the ADD I have.

 

I absolutely want to have my own kids some day! It's a huge part of life i'd be otherwise missing out on.

As much as I'd love for the kid to be biologically mine (cause i think it'd be interesting if the kid looked like me) there are tons of kids out there who need homes and loving families. I know adoption is a difficult process and takes a lot of time and money, but I really think it's worth it to take a kid in who needs someone to be there for him or her.

It is a definite possibility someday, but I'd want to be in a healthy long-term relationship before any of that happens!

 

i want kids someday.

plus i had a gay guy friend ask me to be a surrogate mother. (part of the terms were i was going to be artificially inseminated with his sperm) i happily excepted, but told them that they were not getting my first born. i don't think US will allow adoptions to gay couples, their rules are strict and can be slightly somewhat demanding. *sigh*

 

I will have two kids one day. I would prefer if me and my partner used the same surrogate, but with each child inseminated with one father's sperm, so that they are biologically linked. I would consider adopting as well, but part of me wants to pass on my traits, however, I'm terrified of passing on my anxiety/depression. Mine is the most prominent of the cases in our family, but I that won't stop me.

 

I want kids..

 

I wanna have 2 kids some day, even though im young. A boy and a girl. For the boy i wanna name him Aaron, and for the girl i wanna name her Cindy

 

Absolutely not.

 

I want 2 sons. I'm not sexist or anything, I just want to have two sons. But I wouldn't mind having a daughter as well.

 

I want at least one child biologically related to me (i know that may sound wrong :S) but I just mean, I've always wanted kids, but being gay, it is a little more difficult you know? But I just know I want at least one child that is of my own blood, one adopted, and my partner wants to adopt a Chinese baby, always has. As for names, I'm hoping I have a girl and a boy, and he wants a girl. Names: Aiden, Lily, and Maya.

 

Yes. I plan to adopt. World doesn't need a bigger population.

 

I do not want kids. But if I end up with a guy who does want one, I may be open to it.

 

Possibly lol more like all signs point to yes.

 

I would love to have kids but my hip issues mean that it's probably not safe for me to be pregnant. I know it's possibly to use stem cells from bone marrow to make sperm.... I think they've only done it with mice but I'm hoping it wil be possible with humans within the next ten years or so and I can save up and be the biological father of my future partner's baby. That would be awesome.

 

If I do actually find the right guy in the future, I would see myself as someone with 1 or 2 children, so yes

I also think it wouldn't matter whether they are my own or my partner's through surrogacy or non-biologically related through adoption; I would love to experience being a parent and going through all the good and bad times associated with being one in the future (when I settle down, have a stable job and good financial means). It would give me a sense of fulfillment in life, I guess

After all, without children, who do you give your money to and pass on your dreams when you grow old? haha
