    I already have two amazing children but I wouldn't want anymore. My kids are my world but two is enough.

    Happy days :slight_smile:

    I'm a bit young for this, but I've actually thought plenty about it. I've always liked the idea of giving a child a loving family, and so I would love to adopt a couple children when I get married.

    Its way too early for me but I'd love a little family one day; a husband, 2 kids, and a dog (&&&) Though tbh I can barely look after myself so we'll see :slight_smile:

    No. I sometimes like talking to the more intelligent and inquisitive children that my friends have, but I can also tire of it rather quickly. I chose to be around my friends to be around my friends, and not their children. I always knew that it wasn't for me and I think that if people are going to have children, they should have them when younger and when they have more energy and more patience. It gets whittled away at with each passing year. Some people have criticized me for being up front and saying I never wanted children. It's really not anyone's business. The kind of people who make such comments are pea brained, anyway.

    Not entirely sure the whole procedure of it, but it's basically where they take your egg/sperm and then their egg/sperm and then put it in a dish, fertilize it and then implant it in someone else [or yourself if you had trouble conceiving but still want to carry it].

    Yeah, most definitely. When I dream of my future, I see an amazing husband, 2-3 kids, a dog, and a cat. That sounds about right.

    I don't really want children but if my wife wants children I'm fine with it.
    I want dogs and rats.

    I definitely want kids. Not soon cuz I'm young still but I've always known I've wanted to be a mom. I hope to be able to both carry my own and adopt

    Hi there! I'm a demigirl married to a non-op transwoman, and we definitely plan on having kids in a few years. The plan is to have one or two of our own, and then adopt one later on, when our biological kids are older and starting to become independent. The way that this will work is that my wife will reduce her hormone dosage enough to produce viable sperm, and then we will bank her sperm with her trans healthcare clinic (they will be helping us through the whole process) and I will be inseminated with her sperm. This is easier than trying to have children "naturally" through intercourse, because as soon as we bank the sperm, she can start taking her hormones regularly again, whereas if we tried to have kids the old fashioned way, she would have to stay on the super low dose until I got pregnant, which would cause her a lot of dysphoria. That being said, her philosophy with all this is really very beautiful. Women are meant to experience pain as part of bringing a child into the world. My pain will be the physical pain of childbirth. Hers will be the psychological pain of coming off of estrogen to produce sperm. Because we are both women, we will both endure hurt to create our baby. It makes a very lovely kind of poetic and spiritual sense. I have dreamt of my children for so long. I can't wait to meet them. We are both so eager to be mothers.

    Sometimes, but then I remember how I'd probably make for a terrible parent. That and I wouldn't want to raise a kid alone, but I don't intend to marry either... So therein lies the pickle.

    I would love to have kids that are my own, but if I had to adopt I'd be willing to do that. Adopted kids can love you just as much as children who are your own can; and there are a lot of kids in orphanages that are in need of guidance, a good home, and lots of love.

    PS. depending on how old they are, you can skip the whole teething and potty training stage.

    Yes, which is apparently odd in my group of friends, as only four of us--me, my BFF, my trans friend, and my straight bro--want kids. This is out of a group of almost twenty people. I'd rather adopt than use a surrogate or something like that, seeing as how I'm one of five kids. The family genes can be passed on by one of my brothers, or my sister. Just not me.
