My mom has been bugging me about this question ever since I started the process of getting on HRT. As a child there was no doubt in my mind that I wanted kids, but in the past few years I’ve been reconsidering a lot.
I finally got my hormones last week, so now the clock is ticking. I’d love other people in my situation’s thoughts on the matter.
Thanks :)

    there’s an assumption that adopted kids are too difficult or damaged and that’s heartbreaking when these are kids not products

    This is my main problem. People want to treat kids like buying a doll when in reality that’s a whole human who’s just experienced tragedy few people can imagine.

    This is the driving reason people look for babies or infants and not older kids and teenagers.

    It’s insane.

    Maybe adoption is not what I would encourage (I’m not a terrible person, I swear). But systems that support family planning and economic stability instead.

    We both agree that kids and teenagers deserve real protection and that’s important.
