Hi Katie: I'm just 24 and I'm single right now. But when I get married or have a serious relationship, I think we have to discuss it and find when will it be the right moment for us to decide to have children. That's a big responsibility and we have to be prepared for that moment.

I haven't yet had children. When I am married to my boyfriend, and we are in a financial position that I consider to be appropriate to afford the many lessons, travel, home school supplies (no pre-packaged curriculum, but there are still many things that I will want to buy), etc. that will be necessary, we will start the process of adopting our children.

I can't really say how we decided to have kids. I think that I mentioned it, and the more we talked and thought about it, the more we felt ready to started having kids. It wasn't more my decision, or more my husband's decision. It was our decision.

I assume it all depend on how much responsibility a couple have in mind toward their off-spring. I will probably wait until i had done the calculation that give me the answer that i am definitely able to assist my child /childs an affordable and yet quality education at least till tertiary level, be able to provide food, clothing and other basic life necessity for him /her to grow and become successful in life. Actually over here, many couple don't need to think on all these factors, they just go for it whenever they feel like it, most of the time, the government will take up the parental responsibility of Providence for them, we are in quite a sad state of affair in term of reaching the right 'point' to make the family grow in US, if you have a grown family, it also means that you have extra welfare cheque and additional amount coming your way every month.

When you are financially and emotionally capacitated, I believed that is the right time to have kids. Having a kid is not all about the hospital bills or the diapers. We must look on the wider range as the kids grows and needs to be sent to school one day.

I cant really say that i decided to have kids. I think i did decide to but not for sure. I was not married when i got pregnate. I would like to think that i decided to go ahead and have kids for the simple fact that my grandparents are and were getting a little bad off. And i kinda had it in the back of mind that i wanted to have kids so that my grand parents would get to see my babies and also so that my kids would get to meet their great grand parents. But i dont now for sure. Me and my husband were not married at the time like i had said but we had alreay talked about getting married. So it didnt bother me that much when i found out that i was having a baby.
