    Heyy guys, I'm only 17 but the idea of having a big family has been on my mind since I was a child... I would love to marry and adopt a child or have a biological one (even though I don't know who would be the father! lol)

    So, what do you think? Do you want children? Have you ever adopted? :slight_smile:

    I definitely want kids! :slight_smile: It's been a life long dream of mine to be a father. Even more than that, be a young father (25-28 years old) but that obviously depends on how economically stable I am with my boyfriend around that time. I always expected to get a wife and have kids, biological ones, but I'm more than happy to get married to the most perfect guy and adopt children with him. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: No matter how I become a father, they will always be my children. I'm sure my boyfriend and I will be great parents together. :grin:

    Unless something changes my mind, probably not.

    I'd rather take care of a kid that is around and needs somebody.

    Undecided if I want them at all, but I know 100% I don't want to be the biological father

    I define fly would like to adopt kids, the simple thought of adopting kids makes me so incredibly happy. I don't want a big family, one girl one boy, that's enough for me. Although I would like to adopt a child in my late twenties(27-29) because I don't want to be too old to run and play with my kids.

    I'd love to have kids someday, pass on my genetics while I still can... But I'd also be in favor of adopting as well... It's a personal conversation though, between me and my future spouse... I can't exactly make that decision alone...

    I have always said that I wouldn't have kids, for various reasons. Right off the bat I just find the idea of being pregnant myself quite repulsive, and babies don't inspire any nurturing feeling within me. Kids I'm good with, babies not so much.

    However, because the subject of adoption has been mentioned I'm going to contradict myself here. Because there have been occasions in the past where I have considered the possibility of adopting an older child (like past the baby/young infancy stage). This first idea first came to me when I read about all the older children stuck in the adoption system with no permanent home, because so many adoptive parents want a baby. I can understand why some would prefer that, if they feel they need to have the bond from the earliest stage possible. But I just don't like the idea of writing off kids who've maybe had a difficult start - I don't believe it's too late to turn it around for them. And when considering this it suddenly occurred to me that in this context my ambivalence towards babies could actually be an advantage; I could offer a chance to a child that others would not.

    Of course there are other issues to consider, for one I have a strong sense that my parenting style and the knowledge I'd like to pass on to a child are somewhat at odds with the the way you're supposed to do it. I don't want to see myself turn into the sort of hypocrite who tells a child: "Do this, don't do that. Why? Because people say so, even if it's illogical. Do as grown-ups tell you because they're always right even when they are actually idiots."

    Ewww no. My neighbours have a baby and I can hear him cry through the walls at night. Just imagine what the parents hear then... Sorry, but I value my sleep and my sanity too much to have kids. Older children are also out of the question since they can still be troublesome and I hate having extra responsibilities.

    If I found the right partner and I solved the problems I have right now, I could think of it in the future. Nowadays, I'm too young, it's not the right moment and I don't feel like having kids.

    Probably not.

    I don't have patience for children.

    Uhm..no. But, in the future, it might, big maybe, change. If my partner would want kids, I would think about it.
