    Definitely!! I've always wanted to have kids (actually, I wanted like 4 or something :lol: ), but we'll see! Like my boyfriend said, we'll be their fathers, and we agreed that adoption is the best option for us. We will likely have 2 (at least). :icon_bigg

    Definitely not. If me being a way too overprotective dad wasn't enough, all I have to do is mention the current state of the world and where it's going to see it clear as day that I don't want to bring another person into existence just to have them live a horrible life...

    I have two children and they are my world.

    Would I have more? I'm not totally averse to the idea but I'm not desperate too.

    Happy days :slight_smile:

    I have zero desire to have children at this moment in time.

    In the future? Who knows. It isn't that I hate children, they're just a lot of work and require your almost constant supervision, and investing that amount of time into anyone else besides myself is not easily done.

    Yes! I would definitely like to have kids some day. The thought of a little boy or girl calling me dad really makes me smile. I'm smiling now thinking about it. I'd prefer to be the biological father. If for whatever reason that's not an option, then honestly I think that would really bother me and would take some time to process. I'd probably still adopt, though, and love the kid(s) as if they were my own.

    At some point, yes. I don't want biological kids at all but I'd like to adopt a kid or two. My family's terrible genes don't need to be spread any more than they have anyway.

    Yes and no. I love children and went to school to teach them, worked with them in schools so I have no doubt that I would be a great parent. At the moment I definitely don't want kids that is for sure. In the future its possible, but it also depends on what my partner wants because if I did have one I would like them to have two parents.

    Nope, definitely no kids for me. My wife would have to be on-board with that.

    It's one of the things me and my partner wish we could have done, but we never had the $$$ to afford the idea; adoption costs a LOT, and on top of that, you need to have really, really good finances to be approved, as in a good income, and as an English major and a textiles major, that never happened to us...so it's pretty much too late to fix things, financially, in time for it to happen, even if we did get married last year.

    But if I did, I'd like to adopt a kid who was 5 to 8 years old; I'm not too big on babies, which seem to be what everyone wants, and would rather help a kid who was harder to find a family for. Plus, I like kids at an age I can talk to them, and do more things, like hiking, swimming, go to museums, zoos, arcades, beaches, canyons, and such. I think I'd enjoy seeing them experience wonder they way one does, while young. Plus, I could find mean punishments, such as taking away their video games, and making them play outside!

    Never. I don't like children, and I certainly don't want to bring another into the world, plus I'm selfish and don't need nor want any more responsibilities.

    Nope! I'm the oldest in a large family so I had my time raising children in a way. Not for me! But I want to work with children (adolescents technically) one day in the mental health field.

    I'm not so sure. I always thought that I'd like to have like 2-3 kids, but now that's not really necessary for me anymore. I like kids, but at least for now I'd just like to focus on myself and just being with the guy I love for the rest of my life sounds good. It's really hard for gay couples to get children here too, so even if I wanted kids getting them might be a bit hard.

    i would love too :'> always been my dream to have my own happy family :slight_smile: i'm undecided whether i should, though, because i'm scared how they will respond to having gay parents.. yeah, maybe they will be accepting of that fact, but i'm afraid other kids will bully them at school because of me and his other dad, or they will feel different because they don't have a mother like other kids, etc.. >.<
