1. Are you now or have you ever been involved in the raising of children? What are/were the circumstances (i.e., yours biologically or not, living in the same house or not, etc.)?
Yes. He's mine, all right - I have the scars to prove it.
2. Why did you have children? ("have" meaning "be a primary caregiver for", not necessarily "be involved in the biological production thereof") For those that don't have kids, do you expect to have them in the future? Why or why not?
Initially? Because it would make![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
woodardp happy, but mostly because I believe in keeping good genes in the pool (yes, I am that arrogant)
3. What are your feelings about creating your own biological children? Is it right? Wrong? Something you feel/felt compelled to do, or not? Something you wish you were able to do?
Other than pregnancy in my late thirties bit, vomit-wise, it was just fine.
4. What are your feelings about adopting children? Is it something you would or have considered (or have done)?
If I ever decide I want more, I probably will consider adoption. I don't see why I wouldn't - I'm certainly not doing it "the old fashioned way" again.
5. Would you consider or have you donated your eggs or sperm for the purpose of producing children?
Absolutely (consider). I suspect it would either have to go into the totally anonymous (never want to know anything) or to someone who was near/dear to me. If I'm going to know of the child, I need to know I trust that person.
