Some people weren't put on this earth to procreate...its just that simple. Its a personal decision, just like YLL stated. You are wise beyond your years, my dear.

David and I have come to realize children most likely aren't in our future. If they are, they will be foster children or adopted children. There are many, many children without love and without homes, I'd rather be there for them than adding to the problem.

The same people that are "for" having children are quite often against adoption and that makes me mad. I could say that wanting to have your own child, when there are so many in need, is selfish. I can't even tell you how many people cringe when I say we're adopting if we have children.

It is a personal choice and no one should be criticized for it. The only time I have a problem with people having children is when they are unable to provide for them, be it financially or emotionally.

I have an 8 month old niece who I love dearly. She's a little angel and is fun to be around, but only for a short while. Having her in our lives is great, but reinerated our decision regarding children.
