I'm 33, have none of my own, and dont want any of my own.



ditto (except that i'm 28). :)


I'm 30 and there will no kids in this house that aren't going to someone else's house at the end of the day. I'll stick with the four legged versions, they fit into my lifestyle and don't mind that my career comes first.

First one is in route as I type.

I don't know why that cracked me up! The way you put it, it sounds like the kid is being shipped to you. Sorry, too much coffee and not enough sleep.....

I don't have any of my own, but I have two little nephews that I adore. I spend many many hours with them a week. I usually go to their place (err...my brother and sister-in-law's) twice a week, and they come over once or twice a week. We took them to Blue's Clues Live tonight! :D

Having nephews shows me that I want to wait awhile before I have kids. If the situation is right, then maybe I'll have them. I don't need kids to be happy, but maybe someday I would like to have them. I would want two or three.

Do you have them? If so, how many?



One. He's 21 now.

Those of you who have them, how old would you recommend having them?



18.

Oh wait, you meant how old the parents should be when the kid arrives, not how old the kid should be...

I do not want kids. I will, however, make a great uncle or honorary uncle. :)
I have too many plans for my own life...none of which involve children.

If I ever did change my mind, I would adopt. There are FAR too many children in this world and not enough parents. I don't think we need to bring more into the mix without helping the ones who already exist. Just my humble opinion.
Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

Don't know, don't care to know. I'd like to be re-evaluating after each child (with my Alpha female, that is...)

Don't have them, always used to think i wanted them, but now I'm not so sure. I guess it's like the right relationship - if it's right, I'll want to fit it into my life. But if I don't ever have kids, I don't think I'll feel like my life is devoid of meaning.

That's noble.



I am hardly a noble person. It is just something that I am passionate about. I love children and I love helping people so it only makes sense to me to combine those two things and adopt.

A genetic connection does not make you any more or less of a parent...it is the love, time, and connection that you have with a child that will do that.

Besides, if you have children naturally you have to take what you get. With adoption you get to choose your child. How special is that? :)

It really is VERY Special!

Attached are some PICs of our 'youngins'
who joined us 5 years ago from Russia.

Then & Now...the day we met them, and this
past weekend...

Very Special Indeed! :)

Mine came early,
she is 14 now, the best thing to ever hit me!
I love her to death... I'm 36, single dad and I have a best friend & a daughter that kicks ass in one.
Please don't compare children to pets... It's ludicrous.

[ I do love my pets btw ]

Don't say that, my dog Bear has been a huge part of my life for the past eleven years and for a part of that time he was the only family I had.

"Don't say that" err... well... humm...

I have had many pets, I adore my pets, cats and dogs. Children are not pets, if they are then imagine any other human might not be anything more than a pet to her or his parents, the complexity of raising a child is exponentially 1000 times bigger than training pet (Note: I made up that number). The task is that much harder, and that much more rewarding when you see your child growing up to be a fabulously intricate person.
I am not putting down pets, I absolutely believe in the exchange of affection present between a pet and his owner/master/friend, and I am positive about the sincerity of the affection/admiration you might have for Bear, and in return, his for you, I'm just begging that people don't compare two very different life forms.
The exchange might be comparable in your eyes, but as I said above, comparing a child to a pet, is in my humble opinion totally ludicrous.

N.b. I also believe the question was about babies (the kind that slip out of your womb).

It is very special but I disagree with your view on taking what I get.



And that is why humans are so great.....we each have our own unique and different opinion. :)
I agree with you. Some baby is going to be very fortunate to have you adopt them someday. My cousin adopted two boys, it was meant to be, they are devoted to one another. It's beautiful. I would love children someday too, it's just a question of when and who with. ;)

Don't you mean female(s)? You seem to have a few. :S

I'd like 2 healthy children - boy first then girl. But I really don't care about the gender as long as they are healthy.

My folks say we're selfish, I say it would be more selfish to have some when you dont want them.

There are plenty of folk out there that do want them and with good reason (for them) - That's great, good luck to them.

My sister has 4 so if we need a fix ..... but we can always hand them back and go home. It works out just fine for both of us.
