    Absolutely, but they will no doubt be adopted.

    I'd love to have kids someday I'm just not certain when... or if my partner would want kids... I'd love to be able to have my own biological kids, which is possible... but I don't want to do that if my partner doesn't want to... I'd hate to force that on someone >.< idk I would like to adopt at least though~

    No and if my future husband wants them well than I'll just pack up my things and file for divorce.

    No. I really don't like kids so I probably wouldn't be a good parent.

    Maybe. Partner and I have talked about the possibility. We'd most likely adopt if anything. Both of us really want a son.

    That's why you discuss these things before you get married.

    Yes, but not until I find myself in a stable point of my life, with a decent amount of money saved up to pay for my child's college or what they decide to do after they get done with high school.

    I definetly want to have kids one day. I want to have a sperm donor for at least one because I want to have the experience of being pregnant. After I have one kid I wouldn't mind adopting.

    I've been keeping an eye on the numbers and, i find it quite strange how in the beginning, everyone was like "oh yay kids, i want them!" but then people slowly started going towards either "no" or "if my partner wants to".

    When voting, i noticed that there isn't actually an option in which, you would want kids, but, only if you find the right person. To clarify, i am talking about an option that should sit somewhere between "want if my partner wants" and "defo want".

    For people who are not actively thinking about having kids, but do in fact want them, eventually... The opinion of their partner is detrimental in their decision. Basically i am talking about people who are 50/50 and need just a slight push, in either direction, from their partner.

    You missed an option: already do

    My wife and I adopted a son 3 years ago. He turns 15 next month.

    I'm certainly going to stay his father, and would love to have more kids someday.

    Yeah, that whole planning bit, doesn't always work out. Wife and I waited way to long to start (both in late 30's.) Just didn't work out biologically.

    There's no right time.

    I don't ever want to have kids. My life has been a tortured one full of anguish and pain. I don't have many happy memories. I feel like what I want is to spend the rest of my life making up for the past by trying to enjoy what I can and make a life for myself. I will only have room for one other person in this. It's hard for me to imagine having kids when I haven't really lived myself. When I'm finally independent, I want to go out to eat, watch movies, do urban exploration, spend time with a partner and perhaps friends, read, write, and learn. I don't think I'll ever want to settle down in the classical sense of the term, especially as it relates to having kids. I realize that once you have kids, you pretty much devote your life to them. I'm totally not interested in that. I'd rather play Diablo 3 Lol.

    Everyone I know thinks I'm crazy but I want to adopt a lot of kids.
    Like 5 or more.
    Ideally 7.
    Yeah, I'm crazy.

    I'm ready to adopt now ;__;

    mentally I mean, financially it'd be a mess.

    Considering I'd be an awful parent, probably not, as much as my girlfriend and I have discussed adoption and wouldn't mind having a daughter. Who knows.

    Not really, I know you can get donors but I'm not too keen on the whole pregnancy side of things, I'm quite terrified of pregnancy and childbirth. If my (most likely female) partner and I did decide we wanted kids, I'd be more than happy to adopt.

    I love kids, I want kids. I have those motherly instincts just ready to come out and I know it.

    I do not want kids. I knew that a long time ago. Having met more and more members of my extended family, both near and far, and seeing some not very appealing personality traits and characteristics confirmed that I am comfortable with the decision not to reproduce.

    I like kids, though. I just never wanted any.
