    Just curious because I was just at a baby shower...I've got babies on the brain.

    So what's the story behind your choice? How many do you want? :slight_smile:

    Yeah eventually I want to have kids. I want 2 or 3. It will probably be along time away though. I'm not ready for kids right now.

    Helllll no. After baby sitting most of my cousins (at least A DOZEN that are younger than me) and having to live with my youngest sister who is almost 10 years younger than me, I've found out that I have absolutely no patience for anyone under the age of 17.

    YES indeed, so i can teach them what love is suppose to be,and hopefully they spread that notion to their own kids and many others, sort of like a virus on contact, thats what im hoping anyways, ive been also inspired by my english teacher who has adopted kids from countries that are suffering from poverty, she said she wanted a rainbow family with kids from different nations

    No not sure right now. But that could change, I'm still young.

    -My 18 year old cousin had his baby three days ago, so I'm really leaning away from the idea right now.

    I almost think I'm hardwired to be a dad. I would love to have a biological son and my future husband have a biological son himself, but the logistics, probability, and stigma make that reality very unlikely. I wouldn't mind adopting at all though.

    Since this isn't a perfect world put me down as a "maybe so."

    stigma is virtually non-existant in lots of areas of the country and you're young man.. you wait and see

    As my favorite English teacher once said
    "Here is dating, over here is marriage, then here is establishing a life. Then way, way, waaaaaaaaaaaay down the line, all the way down the hall (He was using his room as a reference) is when kids can come into the picture>"

    I guess I sort of really agreed with that. I have absolutely no desire for children right now, and I wouldn't want to go through the infant/toddler stages, but adopting an older kid might be something I would like way, way, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay down the line. :slight_smile:

    Rooni, you're all about the polls today!

    I would love to have kids. I think it's probably one of the most amazing experiences in the world. I really hope to have children that are biologically mine, and hopefully have a friend as a donor.

    I think I do want kids. No more than two, but I think I'd like that.

    My only experience with kids comes from my sister's daughters, but I'd like to have some of my own one day.

    I want two as well. I wanted four - but after spending several months in a house with four kids, I decided two would be sufficient.

    Yes. Very much so. In fact, that was one of the things that made me afraid of being gay. But I know that it can happen one way or the other. I can already tell you that I'm going to be the kind of parent that makes lunch for my kids and puts notes in them. :lol: I don't care if they're in high school.

    Ever since i came out to myslef i've been thinking about all sorts of things like this. I always knew i wanted to raise a child and be proud... but i feel like i would be putting my child at some sort of disadvantage. like i'd put him/her as an easy target for bullying.. which i know all to well sucks.

    ---do all want a boy or a girl? I think having a boy would be wierd if he had two fathers(he might be confused/feel awkward)... THOUGHTS????

    Yes I definitely want kids and so does my girlfriend. I've always loved kids and babysat family members and neighbors kids my whole life. Now as for the number of kids, my girlfriend and I are still discussing that but I definitely don't plan on having them for a while. She wants 4 and I want 2.
