We all know the joke........."What's a lesbian bring on her first date?" A UHaul "What does a lesbian bring on her second date?" A turkey baster! :lol:

This is just a general "kid" discussion I guess. I know many of you already have children. Is anyone here planning on adopting or TTC, either as a single person or with a partner? If you met the right person and they wanted children would that sway your feelings?

Is the "kid" issue a deal breaker for you? Anyway, I just thought I would throw this out there because there are so many gay couples raising children and having children together and I'm curious to see everyone's opinion.

You know I have not given the kid issue any thought up until now. I have so many other rivers to cross, battles to fight, and roads to walk down, I don't think that I could even consider a "real" relationship with anybody for awhile. I'm thinking at least 2 years. This kind of makes me sad. I'm talking another committed relatinship, not just friendshp or something a little more than that.

Kids...I have already done that. It would have to be somebody very special. I would not seek people with kids. I love kids cause of my job, but I would have to think long and hard about that one and I am glad that I don't have to go there right now. Gotta straighten (okday, I hadn't intended the pun, but there it is)myself out first.

Thanks for the food for thought

You're welcome Blue! I'm sure you needed just a tad more stuff to toss around in your head these days.......:lol:

I do think it's good to know what you want though. If you wind up with a younger woman especially. I have 4 major deal breakers in relationships........

~Must want children and dogs
~Must not be alcoholics or drug addicts
~Cannot be a Republican ( no offense intended! ) But I have fairly radical political and social views...:lol:
~Cannot be abusive

I'm flexible on everything else! :lol:

Shelley and I had our future children named the night I moved in. I'm very thankful that she wants children. I guess that's why she's so perfect for me. She doesn't understand my strong desire to be pregnant, give birth, breastfeed.........but she is willing to do what it takes so that I can experiance those things, even if it's just once.
