Do you want kids?

[UntoldHeart]

I notice allot of JUBers don't like kids, I might be wrong but It's making me curious. With all the gay people who choose to adopt or find another method for having kids, what do you think on it?

What do you think would be best for the kids?

Also do you believe in certain types of families would work better?
For example: Two guys and a daughter(or daughters) or Two lesbians and a son(or sons)

In my opinion boys have allways liked there mother more and girls allways liked there father more. What is your opinion on it?

I also believe its in the person, some should be parents and other shouldn't.

I want kids

I wanna lots of kids.

In fact, I want the faimly the couple on family guy had,

with all the colors of the rainbow represented.

Not liekly to happen though,
I'll have to import my kids through aisa....

Maybe I can steal a brown kid, though...
I know you can't do liqiuds, but what about babies in your carryon?

 

[douseiai]

LMAO

You could adopt kids, then do illegal substance... althought I woundn't recommend it(irony no?). Well it would at least make the colors come out!

I very much want kids. A whole house full of them. Hopefully one of these days...

It's funny to me that anyone can be a parent - there is no test. There's a test to drive a car but not to have a child. Strange

Kids are amazing. I've coached baseball and basketball to kids and there's nothing like seeing them "get it" - having fun and learning. To have them be your own, that's special.

I would like to have them - at least 1 of each. I'd like them to be my flesh and blood, if possible. But if not possible, would not love them any less.

Lots of great str8 parents, lots of bad ones.

I'd like to think that I'd keep the good stuff my parents did and make sure I didn't do the bad stuff.

As for family type - I don't buy that. No one size fits all. But I think a dad can help a boy with sports and with his sexuality among other things - so while a mom is important to a boy, not sure they're more important.

Great thread - thanks

It's funny that this thread appeared, because I just mailed off a request for the state adoption agency to contact me...

Well the topic just grabbed my attention, I wanted to know everyones thoughts on it. Kids can be a great experience.

I hope they contact you. So I'm guessing your hoping to adopt, what are your current thoughts on it? if you don't mind sharing that is.

No, I do not want children. I am a high school teacher. That's the best form of birthcontrol I know of.

Well ; Back in the mid '90s ... a 15 year old boy I was doing counseling with ask if I'd be his "Dad" and I agreed ... His older brother also ask if I'd be his "dad" also ; and .. again I agreed ....
Those were the best years of my life ... we'd fish, camp, watch movies 'n wrestling ..and just hang out . We'd talk about anything and everything .... I had to move back down to Florida ; BUT I kept calling, sending $$$$ , etc ... as well as visiting ....
Back in April they both just dropped off the face of the earth ... My calls are not returned .... letters and cards go unanswered ... and I am Heartbroken ....
So; I do not want anymore kids .... mine have killed me emotionally .....

 

[translation]

I definately want kids. In the future I plan to buy eggs and have someone carry my child. I would prefer a boy. I dont think I could handle having a daughter when she reached an age where she would want to date.

 

[icefan]

I definitely want to have kids. I want to be a good father and raise them up and give them everything to be good adults. I have 2 godsons that I treat just like my own, and I would love to have biological children as well

 

[ajax49]

I have kids, two of my own and two by acquisition. They're all grown now. Raising them is by far the most significant thing I've done. It's not for everyone, however. It takes a lot of love, time, energy and money. I had two helping me, and even with their help, there were times when I was exhausted beyond belief. What's so good about it? There is no simple answer, but it is a profound connection, not just with someone else, but with the future. You think and care more about them than you do about yourself. Kids can save you from yourself and from narcissism. Gays who never raised kids have trouble understanding the concern I have for my kids. When I was with Match.com, most of my serious "hits" came from other gay dads. I wouldn't change my status for anything, but being a dad clearly is not for everyone. And being a single dad would be much more of a challenge.

I think the idea of having a couple of kids and a great spouse sounds perfect, but not until I'm in my late 30's and have traveled/lived some more.

 

[blackbeltninja]

I'd love to have a couple of kids, one day.

I last saw my own dad when I was 2 back in 1979 when he left us, and my mom has had severe arthritis since 1982 and couldn't always manage the whole "kick a ball around the garden" thing, so that's something I hope I can do with my kids.

While nobody can fault my mom for raising my sister and me the way she did (she did a superb job of it), I think Chance1 makes a good point about a boy benefitting immensely from having a dad. So I hope to be a dad one of these days.

And that's why I teach high school.

No, I do NOT want kids. In fact, I have a dislike for children. Adoption, artificial insemination, human trade, I don't care. I ain't buying.

But if you do want pitter-patter of tiny little feet in the morning, fine by me.

 

[iah822003]

I don't want kids. I wasn't very good at looking after my pets, so I wouldn't trust myself to look after a kid. I really don't think I'll be a good father or a good role model.

 

[umimherekinda]

i'd like to have kids if i find the right guy one day. i'd never want to deal with all that crap (literally) alone.

 

[demon5371]

I don't think a gay lover wants kids! Include me. If I want, I prefer a boy!!

 

[_AJ_]

i want kids eventually not just yet though
