Do you ever see yourself having children?

Well, not via sexual reproduction. Me and my girlfriend have come to a mutual agreement that if we have children, we're going to adopt. She mentioned not wanting to have kids via sexual reproduction, and I immediately came out and said "I agree." Because I don't want to have to go through the infant/toddler/etc stage. Not to mention, there are children who need homes who have no family, and as a humanist, I feel obligated to give at least one kid a loving home.

 

Everyone needs love, I just hope from an older child you get the same

 

I really want kids when I grow up. I have 3 younger siblings who I've had to watch all summer until 4 in the afternoon, and everyone agrees I've been doing an excellent job. My 6 yo sister says I'm her favorite person XD
That's why it stings so badly when my mom tells my reclusive, irresponsible 11 year old sister that she'll be a great mom someday... And I get pushed to the sidelines just because I'm gay. It hurts that they seem to have cut off all hope of grandchildren from me. I would probably adopt first before any kind of pregnancy (which really scares me tbh, the wife can deal with that)

 

When same sex couples can have biological kids, I would probably consider having one biological kid and adopting one kid. I think long-term this really makes you appreciate life more. I would probably be fine without having kids too, though.

I don't think I would want to have kids as a single parent. When I find a partner, we can discuss it.

 

The only good argument I heard for trying to become ex-gay was from a gay man who said he wanted his own biological children and to live in what society considered a normal family. He says he loves his wife and enjoys sex with her, but most of his attractions are still towards men. He says he has remained faithful to his wife and doesn't regret his choice. I don't think his life is easy though.

 

I'm pretty sure a lesbian couple can have biological children, because bone marrow from one of the women can be used to create sperm. However, the baby will always be female.

I don't know if two men will ever be able to though, because there would be no one to carry it.

 

I've not heard of it being possible for women or men yet, but it is in the works. For men, it in theory should be possible with stem cells to create the egg from one of the men's DNA. However, you are correct, the fertilized egg would need to be developed within a surrogate.

 

Right now, I think I'm too selfish to have kids.

 

The very thought sickens me.

 

Probably not.

 

No thanks.

 

I would certainly like to have kids some day, yes. Not ready right now, though. Need to get my career stable first.

 

Maybe. Kids are freaking expensive though.

 

What if the kid is grown in some sort of laboratory vat?
Heck, while you're at it modify the kid to have resistance to snake venom or something.:badgrin:
...
Now I wish my parents were crazy scientists. Eheheh.

Never knew about the whole bone marrow thing, though! That's quite interesting. Interesting indeed. (Muahahah!)

On a more serious note however, Isn't it neat that more and more things are becoming possible with science? As with many discoveries, hopefully things can become cheaper and more efficient as time carries on. One less thing for straight people to bug us about, haha~

 

I will be having kids one day and it would be a deal breaker kind of thing. I plan on adopting .

 

I don't really want kids in all honesty, I enjoy taking care of kids and stuff like watching out for my little cousin, but I don't really want any myself at the moment. If I do I might choose to adopt.

 

I can see myself having one or two kids after I finish college, get married, and get into a decent economic situation where it would be the best environment to do so. I'm conflicted on if I would adopt or have a surrogate mother, as I can see myself doing both. It would just be up to my partner and I ultimately. If I did have a surrogate mother however, it would have to be someone me and my partner are close friends with, as I would want the surrogate mother to be in my kid's life as well if they'd want to be.

 

Eventually, yes.
But preferably not before having my own place and a stable job with sufficient income.

 

No because the traditional process of getting pregnant usually involves sex and I don't do sex. And second, I feel that if I were to get pregnant (be it by IVF, etc), my dysphoria would sky rocket and things would just go downhill from there.

Adoption sounds good though but I don't know for sure if I want kids. :/ We'll see how I feel in 10 years.

 

I never wanted kids, but I'm still young, who knows. Either way there is no way that I am going to give birth. If my girlfriend/wife would want children, I would think about it.
