I really want to adopt a child ( ^ω^ ) and i'm gonna love the crap out of them, no matter what they look like!
Do you plan to have children or be childfree?

That's a while a way for me, but I'm definitly going to have children. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Amen, I want 1 kid (or 2)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.

i think i want to adopt a kid someday. i mean i wouldn't mind having at least one of my own but it's just not a goal of mine tbh. like there are so many children without parents and this world is just so overpopulated so i think it'd make more sense to adopt one.
also the idea that many people have (well, mostly older adults w/ kids) is that to be successful and happy you have to also have kids, like no lol. kids are so much work. not everyone is fit to be a parent, especially if they're young and have other priorities like a career or job, etc.
side note- i want a lot of dogs & cats hehe

Tough question...
If anyone asked me just a few short years ago, my answer would have been "No way!" - even as a kid, I never imagined growing up and having children. It just didn't appeal to me.
But my feelings seem to have changed as I got older.. Now, I enjoy the idea of being a parent.
However, there are a few things holding me back... Those things being:
#1: I'm single and don't think I can handle kids on my own.
#2: I have zero experience with kids. Never fed one, never lulled one to sleep, never changed a diaper... I know literally nothing about raising a baby.
#3: Education. I need to get a GED before I can even think about having kids.
#4: I'm a closeted trans man, and don't want to even enter a relationship with someone until I decide if I want to risk coming out, or live a lie my entire life.
Then there's #5:
I'm not keen on the idea of getting pregnant and giving birth myself (partly due to #4), which leaves adoption. And.. I'm not exactly comfortable with that, either, thanks to some personal insecurities/fears.
So I guess my answer is: I don't know yet. My priority right now is getting my life in order.

Yeah, i'm not even sure myself. Like, I just feel as though that's my purpose, to keep my cells and genes alive through reproduction. It's hard to explain, because as I'm human I can fully comprehend and analyse what I'm doing and make choices, whereas other organisms are driven by instinct (innate biological purpose).
I feel as though I'm looking waayyy too deeply into this haha

I think that, in the case of humans, we decide what out purpose is.Yeah, i'm not even sure myself.

I mean, someone else could just as easily say that, as humans we need to look after each other, and because of that, they feel it's their purpose to make sure that children who are in need of a new family are taken care of.
Neither of you would be wrong - or right, imo. Just... don't make it sound like whoever doesn't share your feelings is a failure as a human being. lol
I think the "world is overpopulated" excuse is usually just an extra reason why someone might not want kids, not someone's primary reason behind why they don't want any. But maybe that's just me?
Choosing to have kids or to be child free wasn't something I cared too much about as a kid. It was just, oh, whatever happens happens. But I'm leaning more towards not having any kids now. I'm terrified of childbirth (even though I hear some women forget about the pain afterwards) and I don't think I'm responsible enough to be raising any mutant monkeys haha
Though, I wouldn't mind adopting? Everyone I know always tries to tell me it's a bad idea, that there's too much work involved, but I'm standing pretty firm on this idea.
If I don't go through with it I'll just grow old turning my house into a zoo. Whatever works.
