Like I said, I doubt the day will ever come. But I guess you never know. Something I have noticed in my surroundings though is that it is only woman who have children. Is this something specific for where I live or is it like that everywhere in the world? Care to explain this phenomena to me?

If you are going to adopt a child I cant see any moral problems with adopting one with a heritable disease though. Provided ofcourse that you have the strength to care for it.
Ah, no, I think it's merely a coincidence if you have seen more women than men with children, as far as I know Ebay have no specific gender limitations for shopping. You'd better ask DW and Ysh, perhaps they know more. I only know there is an age limit for the shopping.

No, when I wrote it doesn't matter where the genes come from as long as they are not defective, I meant that if a person has a hereditary disease, I think it would be far better to adopt a child than continue to reproduce genes that cause diseases the child will suffer from. If I had for instance Huntington's or hereditary Creuzfelt-Jacobs disease, I would certainly adopt if/when I wanted children

Thanks for the clarification. I was somewhat worried since I've never seen any man carry a child. I was also abit concerned with breast feeding, but I guess that will solve itself somehow? It is an age limit you say? If im too young could you possibly buy it on my behalf?

I see what you mean and agree.

Ehrm...it will all seems natural to you once you have learned more about the shopping procedure. Unfortunetely it's is illegal to buy on the behalf on underage persons, so I cannot do that. However, I do think you actually qualify age-wise, but there is one thing you should know...you need another person to actually perform the shopping. It might seem strange now, but you will understand later on...Don't worry about it now, as Ysh and DW said, there are lots of hidden expenses with children, I think it is best viewed as a mortgage.

As I've missed most of the posts, here, should I assume that you mean men don't carry children--meaning infants strapped to them, when walking about?

No, you should assume i've never seen a man give birth to a baby, nor have I noticed the physical changes that usaly predates birth on any man.

It was some sort of lame joke.. sorry if I confused you. :)

reminds me of something.....

When my son was still very small it was difficult for me to go anywhere without him, since he was always hungry....which also meant that those pump devices were not an option.... :rolleyes:

This got to be tiring, and being leery of standard baby formulas I decided to shop around for some free advice by calling up some of the health food stores in the city we were then living in. I should explain at this point that I am in a common-law situation, and thus refer to my S.O, as "my partner." However, in North America, the term "partner" is also frequently used by gay couples...... and the place we were living in was home to quite a large lesbian population.

So anyway, I was speaking to one woman and explaining my problem. I described how whenever I went out alone, "my partner was left with a screaming baby......" She replied.... "Well if your partner just hooks him up , she will eventually begin producing milk as well...." :D :D

Needless to say, my partner did not view this idea with much enthusiasm.... :D

rofl, I like it when people makes those funny and faulty assumptions. It really gives you the feeling you have accomplished something. ;)

lol! I know, when I said that she had misunderstood me, she began apologising profusely. :D At that point I was ROFLMAO, and it was only with difficulty that I managed to tell her that I was not at all offended.... :D

Suprisingly that sounds very much like the truth. :rolleyes:

Seriously though, I cant remember that I have been particularly evasive on this board.
