    For me, either. I'd love to spread my DNA all over the place but I'd also happily help someone else's DNA become a great human being.

    If I can and decide to, I'd have a child by reproductive means. If that's not possible, I'll adopt.

    I'm still not sure if I want kids though so 4 of the choices.

    For some reasons I'm not going to throw out there. I would adopt there's so many little people already here to love. Only issiue is I can't cause they won't let singles adopt.

    Don't adopt. I was adopted and it does horrible things to the kid head if they know, and if you don't tell them they will find out.

    I'd like to have kids, through either method, but I just feel like I couldn't raise them right. Not only have I been somewhat spoiled during my own childhood, and I've heard that effect can magnify over generations until you get narcissists, but I just don't know if I can raise them to live up to my expectations, and I don't want them to go through life feeling like they've let their parents down. Besides, I just don't know if I want to invest the time and effort it takes to raise a child.

    Reproduction - easier and less costly. Moreover I don't see why I would adopt.

  • Neither. However if I were to have a child I'd like it to be through reproduction if possible.

    I've already had a son through normal means.

      Although I know what you're trying to say, I don't necessarily like your referring to biological reproduction as "normal means," because that would be implying that adoption is NOT normal.
