I have far too many reasons not to have my own children, so it would be through adoption if we did do it. (I've had the operation, I decided many years ago I didn't want my own children.) Adoption's not out of the question for the future, although right now I'm nowhere near healthy enough to be a dad. My wife is partially my carer as it is. I am improving, though.
My instincts are far more for animals, and our lives revolve around our four "hairy kids"! At the moment it's a dog, two rabbits and a hamster. Our shared love of animals is one of our closest bonds.
It seems to me the people who worry the most about being terrible parents are the ones who are actually great, because they can comprehend the weight of that responsibility to it's fullest extent. It's the idiots who are out there manufacturing offspring like they're sea monkeys who should be stopped from reproducing.
Adoption is so nice because it gives children a second chance. I'm sure you and your wife would make great parents someday if you ever decide to go down that road. If not, furry kids are just as much of a pain in the ass as regular ones, so you wouldn't be missing out in that regard! (My husband and I have four cats. FOUR. FOUR FUCKING CATS. Ask me why, and I couldn't give you a single answer that makes any sense to me now.) [emoji13]
