I absolutely adore children! I'd love to have kids when I'm older! Either 2 or 3. I just think kids are so funny and adorable and I could not imagine going through life without having them.
 
I like kids, but I couldn't see myself as one for a romantic relationship, much less a father. I value my freedom highly and see nothing wrong with being a bachelor for the rest of my life. :)
 
My boyfriend wants to have children really badly, but I never really wanted to because of the expenses. It really depends, I want a kid now so I'm on the fence.
 
i don't want any

i'm very bad with kids, like i can't play along with them or do that "ooooh yes you're so good at this!" thing because it feels strange and it makes me uncomfortable. i'd probably be a really bad parent

if for some reason i end up wanting them in the future, i would definitely adopt

lol same.. that's also why I would be questioning having one. I'd bad at acting like they're the best or w/e.. I'm too bold lol.
 
No kids for me. Thank you very much. NONE. EVER. My boyfriend and I agreed that we want to get our PhDs, be profs travel the world and devote our lives to research and academia. Kids would just weight us down. Plus I have a heritable medical condition I wouldn't wish on the worst of people, and my kids have an 80% chance of getting it. Not interested in adopting either. We have 2 identical twin boy cats - they are our kids. :)
 
I've almost raised my younger brother and sister, since my mother works so much. That being said, I want kids but I feel like I have already had them because of my siblings.
 
No. I will not add to population growth.

If you want a child, adopt. Its better and no populatiob growth.

i know this might be controversial, but i hope the one child per parent law becomes a requirement everywhere.
 
I understand the thought that adopting is a 'better' choice than having your own child. Makes a lot of sense, giving a disadvantaged child a home while simultaneously helping to stem population growth *a tiny bit*.

However, I am going to have my own children, as passing on my genes is my innate biological purpose. Might sound kind of weird, but I definitely want to contribute my genes to the biological (and eventually, fossil) record. I want to be part of Earth's history of life and the process of evolution.

Of course, I definitely respect others opinions and choices. :)

If I ever decide to have children it'll be from adoption. Mainly because with my current partner thats the only way I could get them xD But that's not for a loooooong time for me.

An innate biological purpose?

Can you explain that a bit more? I mean, I understand 'passing on your legacy', I guess. And I can understand genetic diversity.

I just- I don't know. I'm missing something, and it's confusing. Lol oops.
 
I was 4-5 kids. Mainly girls though. I want my first to be a boy and then however many I have after that, I want all girls.
 
I love kids, but I'm gay so...

I'd most likely adopt when I'm in my 30's or something
 
I dont mind having children but I dont mind being childrenfree. We will see whats the future brings me.

Same. For a while I hated the very thought of children, but now I'm not so sure. It doesn't really matter right now anyway, though. If I do have kids, I'd prefer to adopt them.
 
Why do you want to be childfree? i really ****ing hate children. a lot. some are cute, but there would be no way in hell i would ever agree to take care of one. i also think the world is wayyyyyyyyyyy too overpopulated and imo people just need to stop, in general,
but thats probably an unpopular opinion and i respect those that want to have kids. like, i understand it, i just find the overgrowth issue to be far too much of an issue.

on the other hand, i like animal babies. i will have cats and such instead of human babies.
