I would be fine without children. Hubby wants one. I’m scared to death of the whole pregnancy/birth process. I also do not like babies – at all. Give me a 4-6th grader that you can have a meaningful conversation with and play games with that don’t drive you out of your mind with boredom because they’re so rediculously easy. I’ve been around my nephew enough recently that I have come to DETEST that 3 year old scream!

That said, if I could skip the pregnancy/birth phase, I think I would be okay with having a baby. If I could skip the first 3 years of life, I think I might be okay with the pregnancy/birth thing (the first option’s easier tho ;) ). The entire process as a whole scares the living daylights out of me. Take a portion out, and I feel better prepared to handle it.

I tell people I want to adopt to help out a child with no family. That’s not entirely true. My reasons are more purely selfish.
