@Just_No I was trying to vote it up and i pressed the wrong one..

i want grandchildren without having my own/adopted kids.

I won't rule it out. Only time will tell.

To eat, I would.

Definitelah adoption! Making babies is fun, but having them sounds like hard work, besides why have kids when there are some out there that need parents? Win-Win situation!

Yes. If I was unable to have a kid of myself then I would give an unfortunate one the best life I could offer them.

Yeah. I won't rule it out.

only to form my own baseball team.

I think that is a beautiful thing.

Gotta say, if I can't find one woman in this huge world to put up with me long enough to make a family, yeah I'd say i'd consider adopting kids if only so one person remembers me when I'm gone.

Yes I would want to be like Emma Stone's parents in Easy A.

I'd love to adopt kids when I'm an adult. I'd rather adopt a child than have a child myself. There are way too many kids without a home out there... Makes me sad

I've thought about this question a lot. I carry the manic depressive gene and utterly reuse to pass it on to another human. So, yes. I've been planning on adopting my whole life, I had a vasectomy at 18. I plan to make it happen as soon as I find a woman who doesn't want to birth them herself. So far they've all been fertile and obsessed with having their own. I don't want to deal with some sperm bank donation scenario, and not because of some shallow reason, but because I understand what kind of dynamic that will create. She'll feel she's the child's real mother and I'm just some outsider, or she won't, but I'll secretly suspect her of feeling it and misconstrue every other thing she says because I'll constantly be feeling defensive.

I will never be a father unless I adopt, at least it would be even that way. Would I marry a woman who already has kids? No. And for the exact same reason plus more. In that situation I'd be the one who would need to be adopted by the kids. I fear my reaction to being excluded. I know the emotional torment that would result from such rejection would break my heart and ruin my relationship with their mother. I don't want to set myself up for failure and misery when I don't have the emotional capacity to recover from it. And besides it would be more unfair to them than anyone else, because I'd either abandon them, or just jump off a cliff out of frustration.

i rather adopt than get married

I'd rather have my own
Just the romantic factor of it ~
