Do you want Children?

[JoJo]

No.

There is already so many kids in need of good homes, that I personally think who ever willingly has kids of their own, and not adopt should be thrown in a gas chamber.
Oh, and another reason, I can never take the responsibility of raising a human being, because I don't think of it as just a child I tend to think of it as responsibility of the next generation, and the world's future, that's too much pressure.

I won't mind raising virtual kids that could be easily deleted though...

Ha, it's very easy to say that when you don't want your own kids. I'll just put what I put a little earlier in the thread if you don't mind:

As a supporter of adoption who'd like to adopt when I'm older and have a long-term partner, I have to say you are entirely wrong. That's right, anyone who says that people should adopt rather than have your own child is hugely mistaken. Adoption is far more difficult than having a child biologically and should only be done by those who really want it, like me. People naturally have a prefrence for their own kids, so of course people are going to want to make their own kids, even I want to split it 50/50, having one child naturally and one adopted.

Definitly. I've always liked kids and I've always been good with them. They barely even struggle anymore.

Yes adoption is more difficult in the process itself, and for the child if they are older. If you can't do it, then that is your own problem, I also think that just because you can have kids doesn't mean you should, and raising an orphan is the same as raising an offspring. and you reply does not make sense at all to me.

Fine, I'll simplify it for you:

1) The majority of people are only willing to take care of their own biological kids
2) Only a small percentage of potential parents need to adopt
3) I would like to have one child biologically and adopt one
4) However, it is a persons free choice to adopt or not, which you should respect

As I said before, it's very easy for someone who doesn't want kids to take the "moral high ground" but I don't think you can judge parents when you won't adopt yourself either.

 

[seidlet]

yes, at least four. i wanted eight, initially, but my husband wasn't totally on board with that plan.

 

[Mr. Fancy Pants]

I want a son, certainly. I want to raise a miniature version of myself.

I never Said I won't adopt. I was merely expressing my opinion, I never forced anyone to take care of random kids, I don't care what you're going to do, and because people choose not to adopt, I can choose not to respect their choices.
