I'll adopt one when they are roughly 8 years old, if I ever decide to. Anything younger that and I would go insane in the first year.
No. Unlike several people in this discussion, I enjoy spending my time and money on me. Buuuuut I also never felt that "making others happy makes you happy" feeling, so even if I did I'd be horribly negligent.
A vast majority of me hates kids with a fiery passion.
A tiny bit of me, however, might want *one* kid, at most. This will likely never be played out though, since that is the tiniest sliver of me.
It all depends on the child really. I doubt I could get past the baby stage of any kid, but if I do, I could take care of a mostly quiet and intelligent child easily. The average child, not so much. The opposite end of the spectrum though, the mentally challenged kid... is kind of my greatest fear.

Nope.
My family has unfortunately had too many instances of surprise children. I love them but I don't them as my own. Too much stress, too much work and the responsibility really hinders your life. More so when you're young.
Any urge I might have had in the past about being a mother was firmly quashed with the arrival of my nephews. I'm sure I'll be happier just remaining a childless female.

This is pretty much my attitude. I don't want to fuck up my own pursuits for everyone else's dream of the idyllic family.Strife2GFAQs said:
That, and children are just vending machines. You put in food, and they deposit noise and poop.
One day, of course. Far too young to plan any of that just yet, though.
Not sure if I'll have kids of my own or adopt- lots of factors involved in that choice that haven't even become realized yet like my spouse, our ability to conceive, financial security etc etc. Though the idea of raising children is always one that I have enjoyed. Passing one something that I have learned or something of value onto the next generation. Don't know what that bit of information is, though, doubt I will ever know unless my son/daughter tells me.

Only if it was a daughter. I wouldn't be good as a role model for a son, as I'm not a particularly manly man.
Of course children are the most lasting legacy anyone can leave (excluding doing something extremely horrible, hitler etc, or something for the good of humanity, Neil Armstrong)
No. 1- I don't like being around children. 2- There are way too many of the little things as it is. I know that I can't stop people from having four (or eighteen or however many) kids but I don't have to add to that.
As a side note, I have considered financing one when I get older and settled. You know, help a pre-existing kid get a good education or something.
