I'm sure we would be disappointed. But, the fact is it just wasn't meant to be. Technology is so advanced now, almost all can have children. There are also options like adoptions, or caring for others, Being a godparent and etc... But, the above mentioned won't be the same as having a child of your own. Will it?

You're right. But because you love the child you'll adopt, perhaps one is contended as if loving the child of his flesh and bones.

This is a very real possibility for us. I'd like to say that we would foster, or adopt if this became the case for us, but we won't know until it happens. We may just have lots of pets and be the crazy cat people!
To be honest, I'm not entirely sure what we would do if that happens - but I do know that we will have each other, and really, that's all that matters.

It is 5 years of my marriage, I dont have a kid. I feel my family to be incomplete. My Doctor didnt say that we have a childless marriage ,but the fact remains the same that we dont have a kid. But we are still very happy wid each other. we never let any misundersatnding or fights between us on the issue of a child.

Not all couples are happy even they have children, and I would say what's the difference? But I admire you for not allowing this issue not to have a very happy relationship with your husband. Thank you for the response. :)

well lucky we were able to have kids but if we were not then well i would take in foster kids. we are still thinking of doing this. it is sad how many kids there are that live in foster care and no one wants to be a prent to them. once they reach a certain age people just dont want to do it. i owuld take in the older ones or look for a family. i know of one right now that is being separated cause the kids are 3 months, 4 years, and then 8 years. people dont want to take that many kids and dont want to take the ones that are older so the separate the kids. that is sad when the kids have lost so much and then they lose each other too. alot of peopel think oh i dont want someones elses kid that is half grown they might be problems. i hate it when that is said. so many kids have lost a parent and have no where to go and just need someone to love them. there is noting wrong with them but they are lonely and sad.

I will think very hard whether or not to adopt a child if my wife want to have a kid in the house.If not,i would choose just to live with my wife without any kids.

Well I would be fine if I was told that because I do not want children anyway. They tire me out too much and I don't think I could cope with them all day, every day.
I imagine it would be immensely upetting for someone who does want childen of their own. There are some options though like IVF treatment so all might not be lost if someone is told that.
